I did try that once, and somehow it went horribly wrong - the machine became *very* unresponsive to keyboard and mouse, as if it was applying huge amounts of CPU throttling (not freq scaling) So I gave up. I never use this machine as a classic laptop anyway, to me it's a desk workstation that I can suspend and carry home in a backpack with ease, so it's always plugged into power to use :-) I only ever need the battery for maximum 20 minutes in review meetings every two weeks, so I just kinda learned to live with it.... -- Alan McKinnon [email protected]
