yeah, that with the keyboard--I hit "capslock" all the time... the screen is smaller, but there is a way to roll and make all the words bigger... i've done it by accident a few times and i can't figure out what it is that i'm doing, cuz then it resets and i don't know how to get it back...

This is really a cool feature. Place your thumb and first finger on the mousepad touching each other. When you open them up, sliding both across the pad, the font size increases. Sliding them closed causes a reduction in size.
Also, the right hand edge of the mouse pad has a scroll feature. It's a little more sensitive, but running your finger up and down the very edge of the pad with very light pressure will cause the screen to scroll rather than moving the arrow around. It takes a little practice, but it works quite well once you get used to it

Acer Aspire One is the key. I know that the 6 cell battery is the longest lasting, but my 3 cell has not yet run out of power before I do. The screen size is 10.1".

This is 50 bucks cheaper than Target or bestbuy. Has anyone used this "price cheater" site before? I guess with shipping it might be about the same?
