Now I'm going to have to return my degree, because clearly I am too stupid to be entitled to it. OK, in my defense, that button never worked before. Must be one of the recent upgrades that enabled it. I agree with the quality of the R3240. I've had a lot of physical problems caused by bad design. It's easy to catch a fingernail under a keycap and pop it off, and there's no way to get it back on again. And the hard drive connector sits too low so the drive connector doesn't engage fully. On the other hand, I got a lot of computer for the money and, except for wireless, Ubuntu autoconfigured everything perfectly. I figure another year for this computer, but then I'm looking seriously at the new Dell with Ubuntu pre-installed. It should be pretty nice after you trick it out with extra goodies. But the T61p is pretty sweet too. Thanks for the help! _______________________________________________ LinuxR3000 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 Wiki at http://prinsig.se/weekee/
