I wonder about these computers. I really do. Sometimes I think they're secretly plotting to drive us all crazy.
I'm still happily fiddling about with the Ubuntu world, and rather enjoying it. So much so that I went looking for, and found, a cheap Lenovo Thinkpad from a surplus dealer, and snagged it for next to nothing. The system was sold devoid of an operating system, so... Well, you know what's going to be installed...
While I was waiting, I got a wild idea to do some more experimentation As I noted in some entries way back, I was having problems with the old Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook I had. The thing was booting slow, was having problems with "sleep" mode, the "Media Packet" indicators wouldn't go off, etc. So... Why not try a Wubi install, and see if things work better?
So... I dragged the CF-29 out from under the pile of junk it was hiding in, hooked up the charger, and let it sit for a bit.
The damned thing booted perfectly. The "Media Packet" indicators didn't come on. I haven't tried putting it to sleep yet, but will shortly.
???
I swear the cussed thing is trying to drive me flippy.
Anyway, I think I'll hold off firing up Wubi for now. We'll just see how things go...
