using the power key produces nothing  You must use the special  
menu.  I don't quite understand that one...



In one of the later versions of 7 the power key would shut it down  
but you still had to flick the switch at the back. LCIII doesn't have  
the hardware for soft power on/off.

Do you mean that when you turn it off, leave and turn it back on later 
the screen is grey scale?

Does it also lose track of the time?

It could be something as simple as the PRAM battery is flat.

Re: OS copyright

2002-08-01 Thread Aedan McGhie/Scotland


This story just doesn't ring  true. Microsoft make  their newest software
available cheap for schools ( As a student  I bought new, licensed, XP and
Office for $6 each)

True but one of the things the US DOJ brought up was that when a new 
version comes out they increase the price of the old one to push 
people into upgrades.

It's in the finding of fact somewheres.
