Hello! I liked my netbook MSI Wind when I had it but I didn't use Window Eyes on it! That Netbook was better suited for System Access. My wife has it now! I hope to get another one for myself, not sure which I'll get!
My Asus laptop doesn't have the function of turning off the mouse pad. My next Netbook will again have that function. I presently use an Asus Z7100 laptop which I've had almost three years now. It has been a pretty reliable PC but I would go the Acer line of Netbooks which have different model numbers depending on color, the Sampson 110 or 120, of course the MSI Wind, the Lanovo Idea Pad I believe it is called. I hear the Sampson or whatever that's called has an excellent keyboard. Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raul A.

I didn't care for it because you cannot use the number pad the way you can with most laptops unless you change all your hot keys around. I'm used to leaving Window-Eyes at the default hot key layout and just using the fn-key together with the embedded number pad of a laptop. However the msi wind has the number pad broken in that the behavior is different. In addition, the comma, period, and slash keys are too small for my fingers and I find myself making more typos than usual. So I gave mine to my wife who doesn't care about such things, *smile*.
