Hi Mark and Saqib,
I initially experienced the problem of the Advent 4211 turning off after 5
seconds when I first bought it, but it transpired that this was a fault, and
I had it replaced.

Mine doesn't do anything strange like that with the power button. Doesn't
matter how hard i press it it just turns on and stays on. Same when coming
out of sleep mode. It just turns on and stays that way.
Hope you haven't got a dodgy button on yours.

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
