Ken,

Sweet birthday present, no doubt.  When is Kay's birthday?  Has she started with the hints yet?

Kay's birthday is in February and not to worry, she makes sure I know what time it is. 
Gotta get accustomed to this keyboard... it-r-little!

16gb HDD space only

Now you don't even have to get off the couch! Looks nice. The SSD's are supposed to be pretty sweet. Let us know how you like it after a couple of weeks of use.

That's not really a limitation geesixxie, it has plenty of USB2 ports so that you can add external HDD's, or DVD burners, but the Secure Digital ports are what really make it the Hott setup because you can add another 8Gig card and that gives you a total of 24Gigs. I've done that and use the second card to swap data between the Acer and my desktop PC... works great so far.
It's attached to my network, so there are a couple of terabytes of storage available that way as well.

Will do.
My only complaint so far is speaker quality, my hearing is only about 70% and the speakers suck so looks like I may need to use headphones for any real sound use.

nice Ken. -- that's a purty gift

Thanks Jeff.

Just tried my 'economy' Plantronics headset and find the sound card quality is good with those.

I love my laptop.. and I've been purring over some of the smaller netbooks, yours looks nice.

I purchased one of these for mine:

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 SB1090 5.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz USB Interface Sound Card

I've played out live DJ sets with that.. it sounds the nuts! and wasn't very expensive, considering I paid over Ã,£200 for my internal Audigy with front connection bay a few year ago.

I hope you have a lot of fun with it, Ken.
