Netbook + Rebirth = Acid heaven!
I really love my netbook. Its tiny, powerful enough to run Windows XP well and can run various music programs well enough to enjoy whilst travelling. I thought I would put together some pointers for getting Rebirth 383 to run on your Windows XP netbook, being as it may not be be entirely obvious how to get it to install and run (especially if you do not have a cd drive attached at all times).
First off I recommend that you download the wonderful and free Daemon Tools:

This little utility enables you to run an ISO image as if it were a physical CD. A reboot will be required during the installation, so do that when prompted to.
Next up download Rebirth 383 (this will require registration but entirely worth it):
http://www.rebirthmuseum.com/
Once downloaded right click on the Daemon Tools icon in the system tray and mount a drive. Select the ISO file and then look in My Computer where you should have the Rebirth CD loaded. Install Rebirth following the on screen steps (a bunch of Nexts from memory). The last thing you need to remember is that the virtual CD needs to be loaded when attempting to run the application, otherwise you will be asked to insert the disc.
A higher state of consciousness here we come!!!
