USB was never intended to connect devices of such power, it's not in the
spec. It's not the fault of the designers it's being used in areas it

Actually, Western Digital now sells a whole line of 2.5 external USB
drives that don't even come with a power supply. No modern computer
should have trouble running one of these from a USB port. Or at worst
from a powered hub.

That is correct, only profile info is involved so they don't need
credit card management. Yes, they do have competent server and

in the big picture so it's never gotten done.

Constance was that a 7 or a 10 one..
I think most of the first Eee PC's were the smaller ones.
the 10 ones seem to have a larger keyboard.

My Eee PC is a 7 one, with the micro-mini keyboard that I thought

Your bigger Walmart Superstores have had the 10 Acers in stock.
You could take a look there and see how the keyboard works.
If you ever want to sell the 7 one let me know.

That is one of the beautiful things that the Netbooks do. Mine was 345,
you can get them (with MUCH shorter battery lives and lousier screens) for
285.
My vote is for Acer's or Samsunbs. Both have great screens, keys, and
battery lives.
