The tiny computer arrived on Wed night. I lo-o-ve it! I took it to my practicum the next day and it ran for about 5 hours on its battery. I’ve never had a laptop or notebook that would go that long. I took notes while my supervising MD saw patiients. [several people stopped to ask about it because it is so cute.] It seems to do everything I want it to. The one annoying thing is that the right space key is out of place and I keep doing a ‘page up’ instead getting an upper case letter. The screen is clear and, even with my aging eyes, I can see the screen without having to lean closer. Just found another annoyance — somehow when I type an upper case ‘I’ a piece of text is highlighted and disappears. I think that the keys are very sensitive and I must brush over some other key that activates the delete stuff. As long as I am careful whenever I type ‘I’ things go along okay. It really is lightweight and easy to carry around, and the power cord (transformer) is much smaller and lighter than other regular size notebooks. A friend came over this evening and set up wireless network for me, so I am good to go. Next challenge is to “train” Dragon Naturally Speaking so that I can speak notes into it. DNS is installed but not set up. My project for the week.
