Hi Ray,
Sounds like you are a little behind with laptops. The Fujitsu-Siemens range
have almost full-sized keys on them, and mine only weighs 1.3KG. What do
they say, a little knowledge is dangerous? <Smile>.
As for Page down, you hold down the FN key and press down arrow. How hard
is that?
All the best
Steve

Well, lucky old You! For me tha laptop has to be the most over rated and
over valued bit of gadgetry around. Portable should mean just that, and
propper length of time without a mains outlet - and not all trains have
them anyway.
Your laptop must indeed be an exception as three hours is a much as most
people seem to get out of these must have toys.
Keyboards are usually total crap too. We've heard on this list that at
least one of these beasts doesn't have dedicated page up page down keys.
If that's not enough the keys are almost always dead flat with no rake,
such is the ludicrous obsession with how small you can make the bluddy
things. Human interface? Inhuman more like!
I might start to look at these things again seriously when we have totally
solid state machines with no hard drive, but until then I'll be quite
happy to snear at this "must have".
Rant over and out.
Ray.
