Hi Karen, I am using an acer aspire one and I turn off the screen and touch
pad by using the FN key with F5 and then the FN key with F6. I am nolonger
sure which combination is for the screen or touch pad but I think the touch
pad can be turned back on with the F7 or FN F7. If these do not work on your
netbook than I apologize but thought this might help. Thanks, Craig B.

Oops! I goofed and hit reply, forgetting that the message below would not
go to the group. We'll try this again. My apologies to the person who
will be receiving this a second time.
I am using a netbook, and love it. With the exception of the keyboard,
that is. Mine is an ASUS. I can do everything on it that I did on my
laptop. I currently have my braille display, and my scanner connected. I
have also used duxbury along with my braille embosser. It's perfect for
my needs.
The biggest problem I have is that the touch screen is so sensative that
if I even come close to it, it activates it. When I'm using it at home,
I usually use an external keyboard.
I remember seeing a very small braille keyboard a year or two ago. I
think it was for use with a cell phone or pda. If something like that
could be used with Window-eyes on my netbook, it would be an almost
perfect world. (smile)
