Christmas wandered in the door early this year, in the form of a Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5986 laptop. I plugged it in and fired it up, curious to see what Windows 7 was all about. After all the new computer first run things were out of the way, I clicked on the Control Panel, intending to go in and delete some stuff I knew I'd never need or use. Imagine my frustration when Windblows 7 locked up tight, and wouldn't leggo. I tried it all... nothing would get out of the freeze. Sigh... Out comes the battery. I said sarcastically to myself, "And a hearty welcome to windows 7 to you! ...NOT!"
Mindful of averting a 'disaster', I downloaded a fresh iso of 9.10 and roasted it slowly and carefully with K3B on my sidux machine. Then I compared the MD5 sums and booted the disc and ran the check on it, all okay. Such a simple thing to do, you'd think it would have become automatic procedure for everyone....but there are some who still seem to think 'It'll never happen to ME'
Installation was a breeze!

Strange.. you can't see the power button in the picture. It's above f6 to f8. No fancy multimedia buttons on this one, but there's other machines here for that. The Koala is happy on this little lappy! Only 'problem' I've found so far is that when turning it off, it will halt, but not power off. Have to push the button for that. 8)
