Well maybe that's what smart phones are for. I think netbooks are the step up from there, where you actually need to interact in a rich way with app or web site. Then I want a keyboard. I can't stand typing anything longer than hi ware r u with out a keyboard. For me it's not a big thing to open up a lid. BUT the real problem is having it ready to do something *immediately* when I open it up. With a keystroke I want to be able to save an unfiled note, cancel an alarm, check calendar, or update facebook status, or whatever. I don't want to have to wait for the thing to powerup/ resume, fiddle with a start menu, launch an app, position the cursor, etc. -- John. _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list [email protected] http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
