You are in luck. According to the Blind Bargains website, there is an Asys or Asar Netbook available for $259.00 with an 8 GB hard drive and fre shipping. The deal ends FEB 9th. So if you got the dough, buy one.

Hello. I love this topic. I was actually thinking about getting one of these to and was wondering the same thing. With them not having a cd drive, I am assuming that booting from usb is how you would get linux or what ever else going on one of these? Also, how hard is it to find one with win xp all ready on it or is it a matter of having to buy it and find the drivers? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lino Morales" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 3:07 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Accessible NetBook Computers > Well one can buy an external CDR or DVD drive that connects to a USB port. > I > like the fact that they are so light wait.
