I am using an ACER right now, with a nine hour battery life. It lets me
take notes in a meeting (in which I am currently bored, so I am reading my
email and writing back), access my "real" computer, service my clients, and
travel like I never have before. (I started with the 28 pound Osborne, and
currently "use" a 7 pound full size laptop, with paraphernalia.) This three
pound (with charger, portable HD, etc.) is a blessing.

Subject: Re: [CGUYS] Netbooks vs. Notebooks
Even people with smaller hands and slender fingers can have trouble
with the small netbook keyboards. I bought an Asus Eee PC, hoping
for a portable word processor I could use on the subway or in a car
(as a passenger). Learning how to use a keyboard built for hobbits
was much harder than I thought it would be. I made a lot of errors
when my finger slipped off the tiny key I was intending to hit and
contacted an adjacent key instead. Obviously, when you're using a
netbook on a Metrobus, a plug-in keyboard is not an option.
I have heard of netbooks with keyboards that are slightly larger--
even a little closer to a standard keyboard would be a big help.
Recommendations, anyone?
