Hi Edgar,
Can you take the pictures of the lappy. Especially of the way
the battery is and the 'potrusion' that is there. Better yet have the
video uploaded on dailymotion or blip.tv as both have .ogv support (if
you have the time and the hardware). This would be interesting to
know. Specifically on a lazy Sunday morning/evening. A mini-project
perhaps ;)

Understood, what's also interesting is your choice of a back-lit
keyboard as well.
There is now talk of the 802.11w as well (specifically in the
background of the recent issues)
