Do they require the customer to pay for return shipping on defective products. (And yes, I've seen defective Mac products. My buddy Bill Slavicsek had a laptop catch fire one year from a battery malfunction.) By the way, Mag, what’s Apple’s return policy.

And an HP Jornada 520---about the same size. Nowadays, for portability, I use a Stowaway foldable bluetooth keyboard with my Ipaq 110, so a netbook is actually a step up. But that's neither here nor there. The Acer was intended for one of my daughters, whose hands are smaller than mine anyway. And they'll run Linux. So there.

Your hands are about as large as mine. They're frustrating little things usually dependent on Windblows. Why did you buy a netbook? Your hands are about as large as mine.
