I'm pretty sure under consumer law that you can't put those kinds of restrictions on a warranty. I think that's right. Section 71 of the Trade Practices Act provides statutory warranties with respect to quality and fitness for purpose. Section 68 says that these may not be excluded or modified. The supplier would have to show that opening on its own rendered the machine unfit. Doubtful. Alan As for the screen being too small, Jeff I think that's kinda the point. It's meant to be ultra-portable, like the old Toshiba Librettos. I think it's a reasonable tradeoff -- though I know Gnome has trouble with my already pretty low resolution laptop with some transient windows having important bits off the screen. Better, though, is the fact the external monitor connector can do MUCH higher resolution.

[SLUG] terminal detach of email attachements
is there another way to detach email attachements than munpack; I have some email file with attachements that I'd like to detach (rather than retrieving email and uploading files) on my RH73 I have used munpack, on the Centos 4 I don't seem to have munpack, and, haven't found one yet -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

This one time, at band camp, Robert Thorsby wrote: The one I looked at yesterday (Myers, Erina Fair) had the opening blocked with a black plug that would have taken surgery to remove. I very much doubt if there was any connector underneath. If my observations are accurate then one would have to add the connector, an operation that would most certainly void any warranty. That sounds more like the blocked telephone jack (there's no modem, as yet, but there is the plug). The memory cover apparently has a warranty void if removed sticker on it. The mini-PCIe slots are also under this cover. (see photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/1831834917/) I don't recall seeing one but there are all the usual connectors (except for miniPCI) and someone in the States has already replaced the OS with ?ubuntu, so docking could be easily achieved via the LAN connection. No I mean so that you can connect it up with just one movement, rather than connecting power + monitor + anything else. It's a pretty standard thing with laptops, but tends to require a special connector. -- Rev Simon Rumble [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Because geeks travel too. http://engineer.openguides.org/ Security experts have been saying for years that the security of the Windows family of products is hopelessly inadequate.
