I know at least one other laptop user (I have an old Compac Presario 900, he has a newer Acer or some such) that manages to trigger the touchpad without touching it. Very, very annoying.

...way, that way, and every way. I had the fun experience recently of tracking a write system call via nfs3. Impressive that it works, impressive in its complexity, depressing in most ways. Just look at the OLPC stuff. Linux and Sugar environment now make XP look fast. Now that's a sad comment. Besides, most crays nowadays are made of opterons that run slower than your laptop :-) ron

> Does anyone have trouble booting new installations of plan9 on vmware6? I turn off hwaccel, load the os, and after the install completes and the system reboots it just hangs.
