Not too sure why there are not much talk about the WiFi Link 5100 or 5300 compatibility for Santa Rosa with PM965 chipset, so now, I put it to a test for everyone! Guess what? it works!
This is the card, Intel WiFi Link 5100 (looks cheap……)

We got reviews.

Here’s another quick post to announce a fundamental shift in the way I’m going to handle reviews on this site.
As many of you already know, I openly welcome users who write their own reviews of their Acer products and have published nearly ten so far. Name one other PC manufacturer with the balls to do [...]

Hi everybody,
You might not have noticed it, but the forum section is now open for business.
I should probably keep this a closely guarded secret as right now you can do pretty much whatever you like over there.

If any of you were wondering what that ugly blue icon is to the left of your names in the comments box on the bottom right of this page and also to the left of your comments in the articles themselves, well it’s the GRAVATAR icon.

Those of you with a keen eye, or nothing better to do, will have noticed that the Forum section is beginning to take shape.
This is the last link in the chain to send this site into orbit.
Right now, there’s just the log-in / sign-in up page but we’re working on getting it up and running [...]
Do you suffer from “techno fear” or bask in “techno joy”?

A while ago I came across this wonderful work by Hugh MacLeod. Hugh has become extremely well known for his ability to hit the nail fair and square on the head.
He’s done it again and I hope he doesn’t mind me hijacking the concept for a few seconds.
Take a look at it again and then think of technology. You’ll see something that strikes a chord with everything Acer has tried to achieve (with varying success) over the years.

Just a quick post before I call it a day to update you on the progress of the new site.
As I speak, the wizards at The Blog Studio are transferring all the content from the dull, lackluster old site over to the new shiny one.
What that means is we’re just days away from launch and [...]
A quarter of a million reasons

Don’t know about you but every now and then I need to remind myself publicly that this site’s worth developing.
Over the past year and a half I’ve *met* more Acer customers than in ten years writing for them. I’ve learned more about what does – and doesn’t – work than I could have possibly dreamed [...]
Do you come here often?

I was looking at my stats for 2007 (in actual fact I only started measuring in April) and I noticed something very particular.
In 2007, 75% of you were first-time visitors. Three out of every four people who stumbled on this site in 2007 came through some form of search engine. The current monthly average is [...]

OK, most if not all of the managers and employees are all heading to Vienna, the speeches are all signed off (expect one), the stage is set…. I wish I knew a blogger who was going to the event. Scoble? Richard? Nah…
Still, it gives me a chance to catch up on some of the backlog [...]
