Another good thing -- I put in an SD card from my Canon T3i and started looking at photos in tablet mode with eog. These photos are about 8 MB apiece, but I could look at one per second and they looked great. I might have to look a little more at eog functionality -- I had to click the screen to get the side arrows to show, then click those arrows to cycle to the next (or previous) photo. So it was two clicks per transition which seems like one too many! > The 5 sec to power cycle press is a hardware feature -- I am sure. Yes, and it is essential because I can't take off the battery to force a power-off if it hangs. But here's the thing -- it would be best for me if the button were recessed, or even hard to get to, but it sticks out just a touch (maybe just 1 mm) from the side of the case. I almost want to take a file to it! Flush would be better, recessed would be best -- make me use a fingernail to push it! > Your bravery in touching the Win10 registry, by your own admission, has > automatically made you our resident Windows expert! Ha! That's good -- we don't want Windows experts. My only reason for keeping Windows is that I have some programs for managing musical equipment and they are Windows-only. If I didn't have them, I'd drop the Windows altogether, and on my last two laptops, I did exactly that -- just wiped the partition and made it all ext4. Best, Mike
