I've found that if you're using Jaws and have the laptop key layout set, that you can quite happily use the caps lock key interchangeably with insert for most though not quite all purposes. It certainly works with the Fn combos you described previously. Have a EEE 901 here.

It's the Acer Aspire one. It has an eight gig SSD (Solid state drive). I got it because my old laptop was very heavy and I wanted something light and portable to browse the net with and check email with as well. My old laptop had all the features I wanted, but would have given an elephant back trouble. I now use my netbook on a daily basis. It does include WiFi which is built-in. When I get a new system, I'm always nervous about installing JAWS. However, it went well on this netbook. I've heard of another one called the MSI Winn. What's it like?

As is, my only problems are a inclination to hit enter instead of home or end because I forget where they are, or missing the right-shift key entirely (as it's on the far right, next to enter). Still, the smoothness of the processor, the quietness of the hard drive and fan, and the speedy way in which it returns from standby and is so easy to carry about makes it a solid winner.

I had what I'd call the predecessor to the netbooks, a sony vaio vgntx650p about a year back. While it didn't have enough power for me, and honestly that particular model seemed to break like nobody's business, I do miss the very small size and portability. As for the function key being used to do home, end, etc, you'll quickly get used to that. I did, to the pointt that when I got this del (laditude d630), I was actually a bit annoyed not to have that feature. It was a lot faster than reaching for the actual keys, after you're used to it that is. I like that kind of keyboard.
