I went ahead and got the X61, which arrived Monday. Since then I've mainly been trying to get it set up with the programs and files I was using on my previous laptop so that I can actually get back to work.
But... what suggestions do other users have for this tablet? Does the sticky on the X41 pretty much hold true for X61? (I don't really feel like reinstalling, especially since the machine is pretty lively, but I'd be happy to get rid of stuff I won't need, or to get things out of Startup that don't need to be there.)
First, I'm sure that lots of people love the security features on this machine, but I've concluded I really don't want to use them. I deleted the password for my user profile, so that took out one step, but it still wants me to click on my user name, and the password manager application (I forget what it's called) comes up every time I try to log onto a website. I thought it would just remember my passwords for me and insert them, but it wants me to type them in twice. I am not doing much that's exactly high-security, and this will drive me mad. How do I shut this off?
I've also run into a couple of strange problems. I can't get Acrobat (from CS3) to install--it causes the BSOD. It seems like I had a little trouble installing this on the previous tablet, but I don't think that more than one or two BSODs were involved. I've had 4-5 on this and it's a huge waste of time. Also, I tried defragging last night with the preinstalled Diskeeper Lite, and that also (not immediately) brought on a BSOD. What's causing this weirdness?
That's enough questions for one post, I think.
