Hi Cheryl, I have an ePC, 701, and the keyboard is slightly easier to use than the mPower Braille note's QWERTY keyboard. But I just set up a 900 for a client, and although the keyboard is the same, I plugged in a USB keyboard for her, so she could use a full desktop type keyboard. You could use a wireless one too, where you plug in the USB wireless component, and use the desktop keyboard from across the room. I put location dots on the following keys, and it really helps: F4 F8 F12 #3 #7 #0 tab F J enter Windows key & Applications key That takes 12 Loc Dots, or 2 packs of them. These stick on, and last for a long time. HTH.

I'm looking at Asus EEE Pcs and had a question for which I haven't found an answer. I know there are different models but what I'm concerned about is: what kind of keyboard does it have if it's so small or does it come with a keyboard we can use? For instance, my cell phone has a qwerty keyboard that I can use but is painfully slow for me to type on since I've never gotten good at the thumbs trick so I'm concerned as to whether I'd manage ok with an eee pc. I imagine if you get one with bluetooth it wouldn't matter because you could use a separate keyboard but of course that immediately means carryint around one more thing. I didn't really find anything about how one keys in though I did see something about an onscreen keyboard which I'm assuming wouldn't be very accessible for us out of the box. -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup E-mail message checked by Spyware Doctor (6.0.0.386) Database version: 5.11760 http://www.pctools.com/en/spyware-doctor-antivirus/ E-mail message checked by Spyware Doctor (6.0.0.386) Database version: 5.11760 http://www.pctools.com/en/spyware-doctor-antivirus/
