Thanks, guys! I took a risk and ordered an Asus X205T netbook from Amazon. $143 and it runs Windows 10 and is just a small laptop. It has an 11" screen, so my ageing eyes can still see it, but I may need to keep my reading glasses handy. Not being able to resize the Editor is weird, frankly; but I have been in IT for 20 years, so I expect certain things in Windows. At least it works! And it is only 2/3 of the screen wide and 95% of height, so no scrolling needed. I have a small mouse that I will use with the netbook, but the touchpad would work fine too. I went from unboxing to editing settings on the pod in about 20 minutes. Most of that was letting the netbook setup its stuff. FYI, this has an 'Atom' 1.3Ghz processor and 2GB of Ram. It also has only a 20GB Hard Drive and 11Gb of that is the OS. I have the POD editor loaded, so that is all it is for anyway. This is a very good solution for editing the pod if I needed to at practice (not during a gig, of course) and I don't have a full strength laptop/pc tied up doing the editing at home.

I have a POD HD 500x and I run the editor software on a laptop. Its a pretty stout machine, but it is located in my office and not my music area. I was thinking about getting one of the little Celeron-powered mini laptops with the 10-11" screens, but I want to be sure that it will run the editor program. Amazon has these for about $120-200 and I would only be using it for the POD software. I know that the software does not run on the iPad or Android tablets, so I assume it also does not run on a Chromebook. As long as the machine uses Windows and has USB, it should work, right? Is there a low end on the processor required, or a version of Windows that is too old (I assume W95 is too old). Thanks!
