It's true... and that's why I want at least a couple of knowledgable
people to help guide the session. Someone that could explain things
like ACPI would be great. But you're right, each laptop has such
different implementations, that I need someone that could talk a few
minutes about the new macbooks, someone that could discuss thinkpads,
and someone else to talk about another laptop. Basically, a few people
presenting different recipes.

Hmm... that is interesting. I could see that being one part of a
laptop discussion.
