    I got the 900 series for my birthday.

    Some quick questions:

    A) Best way to maximize battery life (Ihave the 4 cell)
    B) Is the 6 cell battery worth it.
    C) Any one else have trouble installing Eee Storage on their main machines? It claims I don't have .NET 1.1 when I have .NET 3.0 installed. Are they different?
    D) Is there a scroll option on the trackpad?

    A) disable bluetooth if present. Possibly undervolt it. Lower brightness. Enable battery saving via power4gear
    B)Not over the 4 cell. It will add maybee another hour of life tops if even that much
    C)microsoft.com they do offer all .net downloads

    Try to install RMClock and see if you can undervolt your processor at all. There is an undervolting guide in these forums. Just search for it.
