    Hey...

    I saw some one with a T60 rotate his notebook 90 degrees and the screen rotated 90 degrees as well... like the taskbar and everything was now at the bottom. Is there software to do this? I think it used the accelerometer to sense the orientation of the notebook and flip the screen accordingly...

    Yes, go into your video card's control panel. There should be options to rotate the screen.

    Sweet... it worked.
    But how cool would it be to flip your notebook 90 degrees and have the hard drive detection thing automatically rotate your display? Anyone have any ideas on how to do that?
