When I can get it to work, I get 3 hours + out of this machine; I can normally go about two hours on battery. I’m currently running on battery but it doesn’t want to kick in for some reason.

Hey, I noticed that you have an icon entitled “Devon Project…” third one down on the left. Does that have any relation to DevonThink for the Mac? I love that program but there’s nothing really that I find to be the equivalent on the Windows side. Just wondering…
