I understand, but I thought you might need to know about the issue.  The
letter slot shape of the screen might be an issue for other things.
Remember too, the netbooks don't usually have CD drives, so you may need to
invest in an outboard one.  What I did to transfer programs that I already
own, was to put the content of the installation disk onto an SD card.
Obviously many programs can be merely downloaded.

Other than the screen real estate, my Asus has been a real pleasure, and
seems as fast as my Lenovo laptop, in a much smaller package.
