The Extras is hte only app where I notice that my eMate is slower than my
2100.
There are two ways to avoid it, either with freeware package EZ Access from
Morgan Creek Medical http://www.simplemed.com/
BTW this one combines really well with Tasks from softwareburo Mueller
http://www.sbm.nu/ which will give you a button in one of the corners of
your screen which when tapped will give you an application menu like on a
Mac.
You can also do both of these functions (though in different way which you
might prefer) with StartBar from www.standalone.com, shareware with a one
month trial period.
