Amy,

This looks great!  What did this all cost your chapter?  And how are you planning on using it?

Hello all,

I wanted to share with you my experience with the netbooks.

We just purchased two systems.  I purchased a usb speaker that works well and I also got a carrying case that I think is good.

See attached pictures.

I got everything from Amazon.com

The speakers are:

Genius SP-i200U USB Portable Digital Speakers for notebooks- Black

The case is:

Acer Aspire One 8.9" Mini-Notebook Premium Memory Foam Pouch Case - (Black)

I just saw they have one with a front pocket, which would be even better:

Burnoaa Mini-Notebook Premium Memory Foam Pouch Case with Front Pocket - (Black)

I installed Etriloquist, Click-n-Type, Skype, Dasher, and Mozilla Firefox.

Are you guys recommending any other software?

No users yet, but I will report back if I get any feedback.
