I find this hard to believe - I own a libretto 50ct, and the keyboard can be touch-typed upon very quickly (after approx. 3+ hours of high usage - to get a feel for it) - but I cannot see a keyboard being smaller than the libretto's. I recently upgraded to a sony vaio picturebook - mainly because the battery that came with my libretto was weak. and the suspend /sleep didn't work properly (or perhaps I couldn't get it to work properly - or perhaps it was merely the battery). In any case, it ran fairly hot with 'high' usage (everybuddy, gkrellm, xchat, netscape under wmaker in X) and would actually overheat if left on a carpet or similar surface. The vaio also tends to run hot - but it has a small fan on the side which dissipates the heat fairly well, and keeps the vaio from forcing a shutdown from overheating like the libretto had. At any rate, the point of my post is that the libretto is a very nice machin(I still haven't put it up for auction because it's just too dang cute/useful)e, and I'm not particularly familiar with the Magio - but I don't see the libs keyboard as being larger than any actual computer (nor would I trust it on a belt, although it did fit comfortably in my pocket [normal khaki shorts] Sincerely, Martin Norland P.S. - the picturebook is the 266mhz model, anyone hear of anyone who got the capture software for linux working with this model?
