serynThere were two MAC addresses. Simon came home, asked me what I did, looked at it and pointed out the second one. It's been smooth skating ever since.
The battery life is amazing. But what has been astonishing is how blindingly fast everything is. I figured the broadband we have here was the limiting factor, but it really wasn't. I got Opera 11.50 and Firefox 5 each in under a minute. When I got Opera 11.5 on my desktop recently, it took 4 minutes. Same connectivity, theoretically better connectivity since that has a physical cord. The keyboard is good. It's not like my Saitek backlit gamers keyboard, but that was needing to be replaced anyway since it's had too much coffee. I like the nubbin "mouse" better than the touchpad, but the touchpad is faster and more precise. So I'm enjoying that more than I thought I would. I'm still struggling with clicking buttons on web pages, but this is amazing.
I'm very very pleased.
