The advantages of programming on a small netbook

i had a keyboard problem with a dell mini 9, but it wasn't really about it being cramped: to use important keys like "\", "|", "-", "[" and "]", one had to press the fn key plus another.

luckily there was an international version of the same keyboard being used on other mini 9s, so i was able to order it from dell and install it on mine.

I recently gave up on my mini 9 because of that precise problem, not knowing about the international keyboard option.

Do you happen to have the part # for the international keyboard? (I just poked around Dell's site for it unsuccessfully.)

the part number is U061H, it's just an "international keyboard" in their system. you may have to order it directly by contacting dell (either their web sales chat thing, or calling) and just asking for the specific part number.

the back of it is the top one here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/symmetricalism/3466501746/sizes...

It's in the comments on one of the other pictures in that Flickr set.
