Yes if I hold it down too long and if it hasn't booted into the bios. I have a 6 gig hard drive with no overlay. > > >The battery doesn't seem to last very long though. > > How long can you expect it to last and with which battery and Lib model? Oh I would expect the extended battery to power the thing for most of the day with just sporatic use (quick on and off use occasionally) since the display and hard drive are shut down in standby. Prorbaly starting it about 8 and shutting it down or connecting the AC to charge it about 2. I usually get a good 2-3 hours when I have to browse or download something off the internet with it and don't let it go into standby. That's running a modem (I woner what kind of life it'll get with a wireless modem?) and listening to a radio station using the sound card and the built-in speake with powersaving. I have a good extended battery and have a 70CT. Its great for quick data entry and retreval though when I have to move it alot I hibernate it or close it down completely. I am not sure all thats shut down in standby. > > >Sometimes I get a delay when the hard drive is supposed > >to spin up.

Its just whatever pcmcia card I have in that doesn't work. However if I pull the card first before going into hibernate and reinsert after I don't have a problem. > > Matt > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. > http://www.hotmail.com > > > > > ************************************************************** > http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list > http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives > > -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- > Reply to any of the list messages.
