1. fn-key together with the embedded number pad keys are disabled. So
pressing fn-key together with j k l u i o 7 8 9 does not give me the
number pad equivelements. This means that I cannot use the default
keyboard layout and the mouse movement hot keys. This means I can't read
the current line with control-number pad-5 because it would use the
embedded number pad.
2. Keys such as comma, period, and slash are too narrow which means more
typos for my fingers.
3. fn-key and control-key are switched around. On most laptops I've used
and gotten used to, the control key comes first. Then as you ggo to the
right, it goes fn-key, windows, alt, and space.
Other than those issues, it is a good machine. If you don't care about
using the number pad, or you are ok with switching keyboard layouts, or
you are ok with remapping hot keys to your likes, then number 1 is a
non-issue. If your fingers are shaped such that the comma, period, and
slash keys are not pressed wrongly quite a bit, then number 2 is a
non-issue. Lastly, there is a bios hack which allows you to switch the
fn-key and the control key so they are the "right way". So that too can
be a non-issue.
Hope this helps.

fn-key-f3 will disable the mouse. However you will have to do this
each time you reboot. One of the many strikes I have against this

Hi Jim
I personally use the mswind u100 which is very good indeed and works
with window eyes very well.
the only thing is I am trying to disable the mouse.
cheers.
