	how about the eee-701s?  they are no mo' but used to have a
	70% of full size keyboard.  my eee-900A had All the std
	keys.  do we really need the F[n] keys?


	anyway, if not a  tiny kybd, maybe a small one.  
	Another thought: isnt there a rubber keyboard that rolls up
	or folds in half?  IIRC, the keys do compress [about one
	mm],
	and with the heavy THUNK sound:: hey.

	anyway/nutshell, i do like this vivaldi tablet.  =if= it had
	a thunkable and real keybd.

	gary

	PS critical note.  am i mis-remembering, or did someone say
	that eee//ASUS was going to make a *quality* ten inch
	netbook?  my VBC WOUld work seriously well on that.
	anybody??
