Nope, I hunted and hunted. Eventually I just broke down and bought a second normal battery from eMachines. While the price was a bit higher than other places online, all the others that I tried were backordered. EMachines had it to me in...

Well, I spoke too soon. About 15 minutes after I sent that post it happened again on the new battery that was fully charged. Hasn't happened since. However, this is the first time that I've done a lot of putting the machine into and out...

Ok, let me ask you guys this. Have any of you had this issue happen after getting a BRAND NEW battery (and I don't mean that your battery says it's fully charged.) I ask, because I'm sitting here at JavaOne, had my old original...

Well, I'm currently having the joy of every time I create a directory in XP 64 it gets set as Read-Only. When I try to change it's properties to RW, apply, hit Ok, then check it again, it's STILL set to RO. ARGH!!! Also, when I try...

There's no specific one (like from eMachines or Gateway), however, there are some generic ones from Targus (I believe Best Buys sells it) that you hook to your laptop via USB and it provides KB, Mouse, USB, video jacks. It's not much of...

I'm looking for 1-2 extra battery packs for my M6809. I'm going to the JavaOne conference on June 25th-July 1st and have been told that it's almost impossible to get access to power outlets during the sessions to charge your laptop....

What are you using to check HD temp? And do you have it doign stuff constantly, or is that idle? You might want to change the power management settings to shut the drive down if it's idle for 5 minutes. Should help lower teh temps as...

Ok, I have to call BS on that one (not saying you're lieing mind you.) I have 1.25 GB in my m6809 and I still get the hickups with XP64. Something *IS* screwed up. OR, maybe the timing is slightly different between the original memory...

Well, it's not a matter of "trying it out" it's a matter of I don't have the drive space to do it on my system drive. I have a 2nd HD that I use in a USB enclosure, but they didn't give us a boot option for USB devices (sucks)...
