I ordered the Lenovo S10 per Donny's suggestion, as it is the only netbook with an express slot. I can get a PCMCIA adaptor to to use my soundcard. The 17" HP is too big, anyway. It is hard to get it in a position not to obstruct my eye contact, even if it was working. As Donny says,"no looking back".
