Good to hear they fixed it. It wasn't a show-stopper, but it was irritating. And here's the important part: with virtually all netbooks on the market today using the same basic hardware (Atom CPU, 1 GB RAM, etc.) the little differences in terms of how well the OEM puts the pieces together really do matter. Why would I put up with a flaky netbook from Dell if I can get the identical hardware from HP for the same price? Details matter.
