Hi, James-

When I worked at Medinah, we had some trouble using netbooks for MAP testing
due to the screen size. They will work, but you need to use scrollbars to
see the whole screen. I also agree that they cannot be used as a direct
replacement for laptops. (everything is smaller, and while students may like
them, many older teachers do not. Also, no CD/DVD-ROM drive)
