without getting into the technical merits, a bit of advice w.r.t. this kind of project: <BR>
- Nobody will remember if you saved the organization $100 by using $1000 of your time. <BR>
- Nobody will forget if it doesn't work and it's an oddball/offbrand ("not an iPad"). <BR>

Hey strangers! :-)
I've been tasked with procuring a touch pad or netbook with touch screen
for use in the library at Atlanta Friends Meeting. It will essentially be a
dedicated web browser to access our library catalog, which we intend
to keep on an internet service called Library Thing.
An iPad has been suggested but I would love to avoid spending anything
on a a dead end Apple device, let alone way more money than we need
to for the purpose.
Only other important aspects are a couple of standard USB ports for
connecting a CueCat bar code scanner and/or keyboard / mouse and
a security attachment slot (eg Kensington lock).
Would like to keep the whole thing under $300, including the
security gadget.
Thanks in advance for input!
in peace,
aaron
