works like a charm!
elias, you are the real thinkpad expert. what's you recommendation?
my T61 is always at home sitting on the docking station, and i unplug the AC
when not in use.
should i leave the battery on and configure it to be 30%-80% with this
tp-smapi module or should i remove the battery (with ~60% charge) and store
it. i'm not so concerned about power outage, it would be like a desktop
without a ups....
