Researching the Asus 1005 netbook, I found that there are several different
versions with that model number, all followed with various letter combinations.
The processor, hard drive size, battery capacity, operating system, and color
seem to be the variables among the different choices. Some models have Windows
XP, and some have the Windows 7 Starter Edition. Those of you who have the
Asus 1005, did you get it with the Windows 7 Starter Edition, and if so, how
well does it work with JFW?

Subject: JAWS and Netbooks
Hello:
I am very interested in obtaining a Netbook that would be compatible with
JAWS.
My main interests lie with email, Skype, and the Internet (wifi). I would
also like at least 2 USB ports, either USB II or higher, or FireWires that
could be used for external hard-drive memory (music).
And, with a regular QWERTY keyboard, which does not have to be full sized, of
course.
I am planning to take off and travel for a few years and would be mainly
using this device to stay in touch with people and to research future
itineraries and to keep myself entertained.
Any suggestions and possible assistance in putting such a combination
together would be greatly appreciated. I am fairly technical, but not like you
fearless kids are.
Money is no object as long as it is for a successful expenditure and not
spread over time with failed experimentation.
Thanks.
