I am finding the Asus EeePC 1005HA with the 10.1" screen to be very easy to type on. The keyboard is 92% of normal size, so it is not hard to get used to. It runs GNU/Linux beautifully and does amazing things. I'm very satisfied (except for that problem with the AC adapter). I'm sure the 7" netbook is harder to get used to, but maybe it would make a great gift for, say, a 10-year-old kid who wants to learn about computers. It is strange that I can find *nothing* about the Augen except on two web sites that sell it for $300 and list a few specs in a very informal kind of way. Are we sure the 2 GB is RAM and not storage space? I couldn't find a web site for the manufacturer. Very odd. Mike
