And as for your other question about the keyboard Bob. It is a matter of getting used to it. I used to write stories and articles using an Atari Portfolio pocket machine. The EEE's keyboard is much more usable than that.
The EEE's keys are smaller by about one fourth. I seem to hit the wrong keys or adjacent keys more often than usual. I also seem to miss the space bar. I adjusted the repeat delay of the keyboard and that helped eliminate the inadvertent key repeats I was getting.
The glidepad pointing device is hard for me. I get a shaky mouse pointer. But it is the same with other laptops. So I, like others, opt for the external mouse.
But I would travel with this machine and depend on it for writing in a hotel room. I am a little clumsy and the EEE is a little cramped. But a marriage often hinges on a little sacrifice.
Yvan, can you tell us more about your wireless travel mouse? Is it Bluetooth? Do you use a USB Bluetooth? Was it easy?
