hey! it's the *keyboard* - great for typing and comfortable to these poor 
'ol hands! 

and the Z50 is the only BSD notebook i'm aware of that can run for 3-4

yep... suspend/resume works FB (as long as you suspend/resume while in
console mode, *not* X)... just woke up my Z50 from a four-month sleep last 
week...
