	thanks muchly; this helps a lot.  additional question or two:
	one, could  you tell which chipset hp used.  [i admit my
	pro-hp bias given my server bias, going into its 12th year].

	also, are mice and cd/dvd drives available?  --or would i be

	tx agn.


We have been  purchasing  the Lenovo s-10's lately (ideapad)  specs *seem*
the same;
As most of these "netbooks" are, But we are a windows shop and being an NGO
299.00  was quite appealing as was the 2.3lbs.
Ive sent them out to Africa and Latin America, I used one on a trip  down
there  used it for 16 hours a day  without a hiccup. 
But as you mentioned  they do not come with optical drive bays,  but with
with 4/8/16 gig flash drives  no one really cares-
I have also  purchased those "mini-mice"  with retractable cords
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MRQVCW for some users- 
I mainly used it to connect to my servers  via  citrix  and thought it was
good
