Hi Paul, > 1) the keyboard would take a LOT of getting used to - it's soooo > small! That is actually not an issue. I thought it would be but once it sits on you lap it's very confi and the keys are quite good. The only 'issue' is that going back to a regular desktop/laptop makes you feek you're in front of a boat :) > 2) the display model in the store had a glitchy, intermittent trackpad > button.

Mind you I am a person that loves to use keyboard shortcuts and tabbing between apps so I might be biases there. The only thing I do not like however is the mouse. The action is not very nice, a but too hard (right click especially) but as I said, I'm not using it too much so it's not a bug deal either > 3) Does ALSA support USB 2.0 devices yet?

I did Audacious -> Tapco usb interface -> Active Monitor and had zero problem. Sounded nice & clear.
