You know, I just don't think that I am ready for this computer as a
consumer. As lu stated, I am in a place where ethernet is the best
option, much more stable connection, and we still live in a time when
you are told not to do online banking and other economic transactions
without a secure ethernet connection. Furthermore, while I don't use
CDs much, I do ever now and then. sometimes you just find yourself
confronted with older folk who still use them. My chorus gives me
songs on CD which I need my CD drive to rip with.
I also worry about the durability of such a thin machine, plus my idea
of a portable computer has to do with weight, and also its footprint.
I still think a piece of paper makes too large a footprint for me.

Has anyone taken a look at the ASUS eeePC? It is more compact and
portable… though I have to admit 64 gb of flash does sound tempting.

As I have mentioned a few times on Lioncourt.com, today's
announcement of the MacBook Air could change the assistive tech
industry. This is a product that can easily compete with portable
options like the PacMate or VoiceSense. WIth a cheaper price tag
and far more power, I think this is a much better and more viable
option for blind users who need a light weight portable machine.
What say you?
