Hello Jackie and fellow listers,
I am pleased to report my MSI Wind U100 netbook arrived today and with our
sighted son David's help have got it up and running. As expected, upon
boot-up for the first time you have to select the operating system and the
language, and once that had finished I installed NVDA and adjusted system
settings to my preference. There are some MSI utilities and also a trial
version of MS Office 2007. I was soon connected to our wireless network.
One thing I've noticed: The hard drive has two partitions, drive C is about
30GB and Drive D about 130GB. The operating system is on drive C so I would
think drive d is for data backup. The manual is on the desktop but I had
trouble loading it, so will convert the PDF file so I can read it.
I like the keyboard, it feels comfortable to type on and most keys are where
you would expect to find them. There are some missing, however, such as
home, end, page up and pagedown. I would think these functions are
performed by using the function key with another key.
It's a great little machine, and I'm sure I'll soon get used to it.
Best wishes,
Clive Pallett
