OT, but I would not call that an advantage... Have seen it happen more than once (albeit with Vista) that a laptop that was disconnected from the power was running the battery into the ground when that did not finish for some reason. Or that all my preciously opened applications and files were closed because it decided it needed a reboot after installing an update. And a few days ago that same Laptop suddenly started to play music at 3am because when it woke up it suddenly found a CD in it's drive (the tray was empty before and I had shut it when the computer was already off). No, that kind of feature isn't really a usability improvement. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69352 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
