all the issues you bring up can be addressed quite nicely. you can buy plug
and play sound cards for audio work. you can get USB cd burners that run off
the buss and you can buy USB keyboards if you like. instead of a 72 RPM hard
drive they usually have a 54 rpm speed. now it is up to me to choose which
one I want. the Acer's are the cheapest I think.

Hi Stephen! Maybe we could keep the keys the same size if we did some
things: Maybe we wouldn't need the keypad. I don't know about the
six-pack, and maybe get rid of the function keys. Of course, we would
need the arrow keys, so other keys would have to substitute for the keys
that would no longer be needed. I heard someone say that netbook
computers don't have the horsepower as desktop models. I guess that's why
I posed the question to see what others think. I don't think these
computers have a CD rom drive, so one would wonder what would someone do
if they had a program on a CD or DVD?

I am using the MSI Wind, and it is a 88% keyboard to a full size keyboard.
The HP2143 has a 92% size keyboard

Subject: The New Netbooks
Hi All! I'm wondering if anyone has yet tried using the new netbook
computers. I hear that they're quite handy to take from room to room,
but
again, the keys seem to be a bit smaller, and take a bit of getting used
to.
Has anyone ever tried using one of these animals?
