What speed is the 4600? >> well, I have a T1910 that is 25mhz, does fullscreen fullmotion video (need to find external dvd player for LTP1:, mpg files play fine). Need any files to play movies/mp3 in dos on 25mhz or above, email me offlist. Well, I was hoping this 4600 laptop would be faster than my T1910 (Black and white), but alas, it appears as if it is only marginally faster (software speed select, 7mhz to 33mhz in really odd steps). Yet is also has COLOR!!! Soooo.... it IS an upgrade 4 me. :) I was really looking for the special edition files because the programs I am actually missing that are specific to that edition are ones that grant socket services (only have the companion files, missing actual executable and proper usage) as well as monitors the battery/etc. I have enough of the special edition files to know that the installed OS is supposed to be the special edition. Heh... seems like a lot of repititious typing in that paragraph... :P Peace out my pc friends, tia for any help To unsubscribe, send a message to listar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe calmira_tips" in the body.
