  Should be even pressure from closed to 180 degree full open. My L110 screen
stays wherever I angle it.  It isn't so tough that you have to manhandle it
however - one hand is okay.
  Too much play and it's probably loose.

  Mine seems tough to move about.  But that's life...  Figure the older
touchpoint mice were always like that, but I've never used anything but the
L100 and L50, so who knows?  It is like a mini-marathon for my thumb here
however...

  don't remember. I just downloaded and installed all of the drivers first.

  Basically.  Best to buy an AC adapter or two. 
  www.impactcomputers.com and www.micsol.com and www.ebay.com have a truck load
of Libretto parts on sale.

  I thought they seemed the same, but someone with both at the same time let us
know?

  If you've got the Toshiba Power control installed (hairy ligthbulb) make sure
the brightness setting is on MAX.  Also, all backlights fade with time, so
expect after years and years of use that they'll fade to 50% of the original
brightness or more!

  Can't do much about that execpt to have the tube replaced at www.micsol.com

  I'd just wipe the system, fdisk, format, and reinstall everything from
scracth myself.  If he didn't get it right the first time, something else is
probably amiss....

  oh, great! another email spam/virus forwarder! ;)  Nothing like using one of
the most insecure email programs available to help pass on the
viruses/spam/etc. to the next guy, right? ;)
