Great deal Paul! Great to hear it. <vbg>

*You* found it?

I assume that you'll be re-replying to Adrian C and apologising for getting
it wrong and thanking him for telling you where the switch was?

If there is a 'd' missing anywhere in my post it's likely due to my laptop's
keyboard 'd' key currently needing to be hit harder than the other keys.

I did appreciate his help, but the document mentions the 4 indicators as a
group, and the right most is for hard disk activity, so does not turn
anything on or off (I hope). None of the indicators depresses. It would be
nice if the book mentioned rubbing, not pressing. Acer documentation sucks.
But the machine is absolutely awesome - better than I could have hoped for.

As for your missing "D", I prefer to use a wireless mouse and keyboard when
at home - that could be a solution for you. I prefer the Gear Head model
KB5500W, frequently on sale at Fry's for $25.00 or so. Google the model
number, then click on "Fry's" - $19.95 just now. A very tiny dongle.
Self-installs flawlessly and instantly, like XP, Vista, and Win 7 are ready
for it. (I have 3) The mouse is a little large.

Nah, don't worry about it :-)

I merely picked up the online manual (and like hundreds of other usenet
'experts' in training) just read out the printed stuff. I don't have
that machine in front of me, but one day if I do I will have had the
heads up. So it's also me that's grateful to the OP for raising the
question.

Yes really. We all learn ;-)

Agreed. There are two reasons I read these groups; To share knowledge and to
gain it.

I was just a bit miffed on your behalf when you'd given the answer (and been
blown off) a couple of days before he proudly announced that he'd found it!
