Wind-alike update

The little Advent 4211 is chugging along nicely. Its never going to be a day-to-day usable machine, but for a small, light, portable thingie its fine. I chucked another gigabyte of RAM in it ‘cos it was 8quid, can’t say I have noticed any difference to be honest. Maybe I will if I Hackintosh it, which I am tempted to do at some point.

The trackpad has been made usable by a new driver I found on some forum somewhere, that enables you to disable tap-to-click. I still do not like the one button for two buttons thing and I see that someone has hacked it into two butons now which is cool. I’m not sure I can be arsed to replace the trackpad itself with an aftermarket Synaptics one, though it is tempting.

Overall, I’m quite happy with it :) (but I need tethering for my iPhone to go with it…)
