Recommendations for a XP Netbook

[Cleo]

The only thing about that Acer Aspire that I posted is it isn't running Windows. Her parents are very old and don't know anything except Windows so not sure if Linux would be a good choice for them.

It's also available with XP Home, but the cost is a bit higher.

I've been looking at these too, tired of lugging my heavy 17" HP laptop around when I travel.

For my own personal use my iPhone has replaced my laptop for accessing email and casual web surfing but for anything more then that a Netbook does seem perfect, just wish one ran Mac OS.

Back on topic.
I'm a little worried about how her parents will be able to get online in these other counties. Not sure how hard it is to find wifi in Brazil and Panama as I've never been there and last time Christine was in either of these places was over ten years ago.

It also has an internal ethernet card and RJ-45 port.
