The double-space under Win95 was the biggest factor in me being able to get both on the 800MB.

We got Japanese units, since that's all that was available. I'm sure larger keys would help, although we have another box from there, and it has about a 25% larger keyboard, and it's still annoying to use. I would think the keyboard needs to be about 33% bigger than the Libretto for it to be useful a 'regular' laptop. Nate
