          That just means Acer didn't get enough of a sales boost. BTW, I owned an Acer laptop a couple years ago. That guy has no room to talk. What a piece of garbage that thing was. I bought it cause it was cheap. But it constantly over-heated (couldn't even run an emulator without turning off). Then one day my dog ran through the cord and the plastic peice in the back that clips the power cord to the motherboard just snapped right off. The battery couldn't be charged. Now I have a toshiba that is 5 years old and we beat the hell out of it. The Acer didn't even last 18 months and it never fully worked to begin with. As with most things in life you get what you pay for. There is a reason Acer's are less then other brands. Because they are crap.

          I didn't get any requirements for the signature

            My acer cheapo's running fine. Even at full load the CPU (c1d 1.73) never gets more than barely warm to the touch and it's either completely fanless or has a totally silent one. In terms of generalized laptop abuse I haven't really done anything to it, I bought it mainly to have something decent to take on the road with me a halfdozenish times a year, otherwise it just sits on my desk serving as a defacto second monitor and crunching away at einstien @ home.

            -- You have to explain to them [VB coders] what you mean by "typed". their first response is likely to be something like, "Of course my code is typed. Do you think i magically project it onto the screen with the power of my mind?" --- John Simmons / outlaw programmer
