    On a netbook you have to use the function key and arrow key and some other 
combination get the page up, page down, and others like that.  Also you will 
have to set jaws to a laptop keyboard.  It is a learning curve.

  Hi list,
  My name is Carlos I am new to the list.
  I use to post once in a while years ago.
  Well I just bought a net book.
  my sighted friend hlped me buy it.
  Its an hp net book from best buy.
  Since I never had a net book i did not know what to look for.
  The first thing was that when the computer was turnd on it did not go in to 
windows right away instead showing some hp media thing.
  I prbably could not hae figuered ou what was going on if not for my sighted 
friend setting it up.o
  then i found the insert but worked as a print screen first and as an insert 
only in conjction of pressing the function ke.
  Thats not good with jaws.
  Now i just have fond out it doesn
  have a home page up page down or end key.
  I took it to best buy and they are goig to let me exchange it for another on 
i have had it for mor thann a month so they are making an exception to there 
rulesbecause the naure of the situation.
  if any one has had prolems with net books like this or has any suggestions on 
specific brands like please let me know.Its a nice netbook but i don't think i 
could get uso not having a home key or page upor page dow or end.
  thanks for any help.
  The sales person in best buy suggested toshiba net books but i don't know.
  Thaks
  Carlos
