Ärende: Re: The Thinkpad Blues
==============================
From: "Geo" <georger@nls.net>

Go into services and turn off (stop and set to manual) most of the IBM
services, that will stop a lot of the software crap.

there is a button on the bottom of the monitor to wake up bluetooth.

I miss the windows key too.
