		<description>John, your point about seeing presentations on 10-inch monitors is key.  

I&#039;d also add: watch out for pop-ups and the like on Web apps.  Not only do smaller monitors on netbooks require you to think about your users/customers being able to view easily without too much scrolling, but sometimes on pop-up messages and input boxes, I&#039;ve found the little &quot;x&quot; or the &quot;Close this window&quot; button to turn it off is outside my browser range.  No matter what I do can&#039;t seem to get the &quot;x&quot; or the button to appear within my browser so I can shut it off.  Sometimes you cannot scroll to them, because the pop-up box is just too long (too many pixels high).  

I wonder how many marketers and companies realize this is happening?  They leave no choice but for people to surf away if the visitor is using a netbook (which I typically do when traveling).  One app that I rely on heavily has this problem and I simply can&#039;t use it with my netbook because I can never get past that automatic pop-up -- which is a pain if I&#039;m traveling for a week.
