Was just wondering.
In jaws, for example, you could try using the laptop keyboard layout, and for
things like the vOICe, it allows you to use some voice commands, but that's
more for when mobile/out and about.

I found that I would need an External USB Keyboard for the Netbook. It is
unfortunate that there is no Numerical Keypad included?

How is it's keyboard layout etc.?
That's one of my primary issues since even with normal laptops, I generally
use external USB keyboards.

Hi
I can safely tell you that I have a netbook called a Gigabyte. The cost is
R2800,00 basically and I'm working very well with it.
Hope that helps in some way.

Hi,
I know someone on the NAPSA list also enquired about this a while ago and
am pretty sure he got one to try out also. Maybe try that list? Let me know if
I need to forward details of the list.
Thanks,

Something haven't looked into myself at all, and it's only really the vOICe
users I have specifically heard speaking about the use of netbooks, along with
webcams, but those are all overseas guys.
Best bet might just be to speak to someone reliable at a decent computer
shop - not necessarily at one of the larger franchisees, since it honestly
comes down to things like battery life, features, usability, etc., so always
best to maybe at least sort of test drive/get to feel the thing.
Sorry can't be of more help.
Stay well
