Actually, everyone can do it, but if it ever happens I'll be sure to
send the source code to the right people.  ;-)

I was summarizing for space, its a bit more involved than just
positive thinking. You can blame that movie "The Secret" for not
covering all of the fine details of the Law of Attraction. You need to
go to the source, the material from Abraham-Hicks.

Anyway, my notebook is still going strong as if nothing had been wrong
with it. I even have the external VGA port working like it should. I
haven't tested the external S-Video port, the IEEE1394 port, nor the
Expresscard/54 port yet. IEEE1394 is pretty much dead nowadays.
Apple's abandoned it for Thunderbolt, and they were the ones using it
the most. As for an Expresscard, I'd been thinking of getting an
external SATA controller.

Anyone know of a good ExpressCard/54 SATA controller that works with Linux?
