    Anyway to increase the mouse sensitivity settings without using the mouse properties window? I would like to make the track pad and screens corner's "line up". IE: from corner to corner on the pad is corner to corner on the screen.

    I searched here and google, and all the results were for the properties window or ubutnu/linux.

    Don't sweat it: my father and law and I drive my mother in law crazy. She just can't understand that we only talk shieza about people we like. If we don't talk tash to or about you, that's when you should worry (you, plural).

    I'm either having connection issues or this link is unavailable now............

    Well,, I've been a lurker around here and just got a CF-29E from Ebay for $377CDN, but have wanted a Toughbook for a few weeks now aeB after many issues locally with those that were selling them.................eBay came through!

    So, thanks for all the great info around here, is why I signed up last week. :)

    Yes, everything went back up live at 5:30PM Central time when the power came back up. Shortly thereafter I turned the server back on

    According to my connection at Comcast, the big batteries on the poles can only run the cable service for 4 hours (they died in 4 hours yesterday), so basically, even having my generator running my entire data center, it didn't help because Comcast's lines aren't on generators :(

    Ohh well!

    Thanks for the patience guys! Mother nature doesn't care about you! Just remember that! :)

    P.S, my brother's house is still out and will be out for days. He has my gen set now. (NEED's it especially since he just bought $500 worth of food for his family). + You can't drink warm beer :D.

    w00t!

    Worked like a charm for me, noticed a bit of perkiness after I ran it, then noticed the icon at the bottom of the screen and clicked it, saw all the X, Y, etc. adjustments, knocked both of those up to 10 and zip, zip all over. Quite cool! Is it only for Toughbooks?

    Typing on this is like playing an acoustic guitar with heavy strings, once you go back to an electric you'll be much better for practicing that way. Lol

    I do understand what you mean...I have my CF-18 (GPS) mounted on my ATV so it does see a lot of mud and water. I don't type a lot on it since the GPS program runs on its own...kinda. :D

    I bought mine for navigation as well, and internet while out and about, etc. It'll be perfect for my new-to-me 1999 4Runner, have it with me all the time and not worry about a case to keep it from being banged around.
