Re: [IRCA] Laptop computer requirements for an SDR or similarreceiver.

["Dennis Gibson" <wb6tnb@xxxxxxx>]

My brother-in-law has an MSI Wind and he likes it but the keys are too small 
for me. Susie got a Samsung netbook with a great keyboard. I had it in the 
meeting room at the Convention. Liking the keyboard is really important. 
Liking the touchpad is really important if you aren't going to use a mouse. 
The touchpad on the Samsung is dreadful. There are a lot of good cordless 
mice for netbooks/laptops. I like Logitech mice. I guess there's no reason 
not to use a corded mouse.
