Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

For those of you that don't like the touch panel for mouse control and are using a USB mouse, you'll want to follow these instructions so you don't use the built in mouse pad when you are trying to type.

click Start / click Control Panel
under Hardware and Sound, click View Devices and Printers
right-click the top one that has the picture of your netbook, select 4th option - "Mouse Settings"
A window pops up - select the far right tab that says "ELAN". Half way down is an option that says "Disable when external USB pointing device plug in"

I'm not sure why this wasn't a default setting, but this is the way to do it. I've heard several people who aren't fond of the built in mouse panel. This will turn it off if it detects that you have a USB mouse plugged in.

I'll post this over in the Snus forum, too... maybe I'll get some reps
Cool
You don't have to disable the touch pad. A mouse will be automatically detected when plugged in and that will become the default pointer. Comes in handy to have both available when your wireless mouse battery dies. Wink

Yes I did. They look like very nice quality glasses. I can't see very well with them yet, I guess I have to get used to them. Total cost was $16.74. Very nice deal, Thanks again for the reminder.
It is better to look good than to see good......

I just checked the mail and I got sooo excited!!! I got a really big yellow envelope from Interstate Batteries !!! I was shaking so bad I could hardly open it thinking I either won the battery or the battery with the truck to carry it in!!!! !!!!! I had to stop and breath as not to hyperventilate!! I gently peeled the packkage open and pulled out its contents and then I remembered!!...............They were also giving away calenders!!! Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
Of yeah! Got my star ash tray. Not what I expected! But cute!!

Mvario, any thoughts on an external dvd drive for the netbook?
No, not in particular, they're pretty much commodity these day. I have a NeoMagic sitting around I plan on using.

Thanks for the info. I was actually thinking about it last night after I posted, and I have never installed Linux on a remotely new machine. I have a spare license for Win7 Ultimate, so I'm going to try that and see if its not too slow. Otherwise, linux here I come.
One of the great things about Linux is that most of the distros have live CD versions so you can try them without installing. I'll probably give PinGuy a try that way. Otherwise I'll do Ubuntu with both gnome and XFCE desktops.

Mvario,
Someone just posted on another forum (either Snus or Ford Rally) that they got their boots today. Maybe you'll get yours soon!!! Smilie

Oops, it's on this forum. Scroll up a few posts!

Yes, still waiting on jerky, net book and like every one else, friend waiting on bike. On a more positive note bounce ,friend received nice leather man tool as extra prize for waiting on bike. One star ashtray bonus gift (nice and heavy, won't blow away in the wind if used outdoors in the summer, although small capacity for someone who smokes a lot.) So you are not alone.
