Hi,

What exactly do you need the pictures for?
I work at a computer store, we sell of laptops, and I see loads more that come
in for repair (Many not sold by us), I would not mind taking pictures of them
if it would help you in some way, but I obviously don't want to waste a lot of
time making loads of pictures for nothing.

btw. Most keyboards I get are Dutch and use the US layout, very, very
occasionally the Dutch (NL) layout, but they're pretty rare (Almost all
``Dutch'' keyboards are US).

If anyone has one of the Lenovo IdeaPad U110, I'm particularly
interested.  From the web photos, it seems they have moved the tilde.

Not sure if this is completely useful... but here is a comparison on the
size of the eee and an old fujitsu lifebook

That's awesome, thanks.  I loved my lifebook, and used it several
years even after I had faster machines.  That really puts the eee in
perspective.

I am interested in the same thing as Ted, so please CC me. A few words
about how the keyboard feels would be awsome. Thanks.
