Umm ... last time I popped keys off a laptop keyboard I found that they were in fact melt-riveted on at the back (ie. you can't pop them back on). Can you pop the Libby keytops off? I'm quite happy just remapping them anyway ... I don't look at the keys anyway. I'm wondering if I can remap Alt-Gr (currently acting as the right Alt key) to a second space bar though ... it falls just under my right thumb ... >Can someone with the L100 manual tell me what the 4 LEDs in their various >blink states actually DO (they're obviously different to the way the L50 >works). > >I DON'T THINK THEY ARE DIFFERENT! Ummm ... I'd say they are, for one thing the L50 power LED isn't a bi-color. The online manual isn't much help ... the power LED has 4 states - solid green, solid orange, blinking orange and off ... the manual makes no mention of solid orange. >> Regarding batteries, is the extended pack for the L100 the same size as >the standard pack? > >YES, but the standard has 3 cells and the extended has 6 > >Whats the capacity and approximate real-use runtime on each? 2400mAh ... >> Regarding operating system choice, given a choice between Win95OSR2 and >Win98SE, which one would be better to use?

I hope this L100 can be coerced into doing the same thing because I loved how I could do that with my old one ... >Well, there is a full Win95B restore "CD" posted recently if you want to see >it as the factory intended. Ya tried that but I couldn't get USB working with it. I've since ghosted that, I'm trying 98 now, if APM drives me nuts or its unstable I'll ghost 95 back on. I'd *prefer* to get 98SE working because some of the USB junk I've got won't work under 95 but I'd rather get proper APM working first. - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
