<pre class="k9mail">Hey strangers! :-)<br /><br />I've been tasked with procuring a touch pad or netbook with touch screen<br />for use in the library at Atlanta Friends Meeting. It will essentially be a<br />dedicated web browser to access our library catalog, which we intend<br />to keep on an internet service called Library Thing.<br /><br />An iPad has been suggested but I would love to avoid spending anything<br />on a a dead end Apple device, let alone way more money than we need<br />to for the purpose.<br /><br />Only other important aspects are a couple of standard USB ports for<br />connecting a CueCat bar code scanner and/or keyboard / mouse and<br />a security attachment slot (eg Kensington lock).<br /><br />Would like to keep the whole thing under $300, including the<br />security gadget.<br /><br />Thanks in advance for input!<br /><br />in peace,<br />aaron<br /><hr /><br />Ale mailing list<br />Ale@ale.org<br /><a
