guys ... seems most of you are seeing a laptop for the first time of your 
life, I am impressed

so long as you ignore FreeBSD's almost-disability to resume from suspend it 
runs on all notes I got in my hands over the last years up to now with 7, and 
runs fine, often much better  on cheap pieces (faster and longer bat life) 
than on some 1500-bucks-wonder-bonder-books

and Jee, this sticker, man, hot!, intel, orange or bsd-whatever are really 
important, I agree ... first things first - and you could stick them on the 
screen to see them all the time
