Thanks. Comparison to my Acer Aspire 3690: Keyboard is terrible
(although that may be subjective), battery was meager to begin with, an
hour and a half of basic use (but I bought a bottom of the barrel
model), and is now almost useless, 2-3 minutes (but it's been four
years). Just about all HW supported, except for the flash reader,
which I've never gotten to work properly, but I haven't spent much time
on it, the Winmodem, and I've never gotten suspend-to-ram working
properly.
