Not suitable for netbooks

[culchie]

Small point and possibly awkward to rectify but part of the window of the hardware simulator etc are not visible on my netbook.

There is a way of making your (windows) netbook show higher resolutions
Go to display properties (R-click on desktop and select properties) -> settings -> Advanced -> Monitor and there un-check the box captioned "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" and thereafter higher resolutions will be available for display. You need at least 1024 by 768

It's still a major pain (I really wanted to use my Ubuntu netbook) but at least it's technically possable.  In my case if I forced a higher resolution, the display just went blank.
