Esp. as this laptop has come up in the discussions there at least 5 times this past week. :) APM is broken cause the APM BIOS is broken, but most everything else works.

Regular pccard cards work fine though. I'm typing this mail on a 5000e running -current atm. > That's the reason I'm giving up on the "other" OS.
