Hello,
I'd like to buy a netbook, and I wonder if it is possible to use Bridge Online on a computer with a very little screen. If anybody has already made this experience, could he tell me if it worked well ??
Thanks
PS : forgive me for my poor english, but it's not my native language...

I have a netbook, tho I dont use it much. It is an older acer eeepc. The web version of BBO works but you have to struggle a bit to get the screen to fit everything .

Thank you for your answer. You say you used Web BBO on a older eeepc, I suppose it had a screen with a 800x600 resolution, or something like that, so with the new netbooks, who have a bigger resolution, I hope it will work easier....
If anybody has another experience, don't hesitate to talk about it, especially with the Windows version....

I have a Samsung NC10 (600*1024) and do almost all of my playing on that (using the windows client). Works fine for me.

bboflash on linux is ok with 1024 x 768, but on my old laptop (p3-1133, 640mb, centos 5.3) it can be sluggish processing the table list. that's about the performance of a current via or atom based nb. i guess flash/ffox/x11 is not a very efficient stack.

the speed issue is only a problem trying to find a game in the table list, where having a quick draw helps. fred, how about filtering options like in the windows client?

My main gripe is that in the windows client, the lobby screen isn't resizable so the chat window only is two rows in height.
