Hi

Thanks for those replies, but I was asking specifically about the 8gig version.

Thanks.

Terry

  Hi. When you switch the machine on you must do a soft key press on the power 
button to switch it on. If you press it any harder it turns on then back off 
within 5 seconds. I don't know why it does that for. Just a pointer incase you 
weren't aware of this.

    I have just got one of the Advent 4211 web books with the 80 gig hard drive 
and it's an excellent little machine.  Runs well with Hal 9 and Office 2003 
installed.

    Hi Terry. The Advent 4211 comes with XP HOme with 1GB of RAM and it has a 
10 inch display. This machine has 80GB hard drive space and will run Jaws and 
System Access. I can't speak for other screen readers but I'm quite sure it 
wouldn't be a problem to run other screen readers.

      Hi all

      Has anyone on the list bought one of the Advent or Acer net books with 
the 8gig flash drive.  I was wanting to know if that sort of drive is alright 
to use with jaws.  Basically, is there any difference with flash and rotating 
hard drives in terms of speed, running software etc.

      I have a lap top,so can't really justify the extra cost of the versions 
that come with an 80gig hard drive, but would like one of these for the 
increased portability factor.

      Thanks for any in put.

      Terry
