I had a change of heart after finding out about shutdown -r now. It gets me past the power-on problem, which was the soft solution I've been seeking for the last month or so. I canceled the order I placed for a second n810, and plan to keep on playing with this one. I never shut this baby off anyway, so the power on issue only troubles me when I need to restart and it won't come back on. The ability to restart on demand is at least an order of magnitude better than the ability to turn off and then back on again. It is funny how tolerant we can be of fundamental tech problems as long as the overall experience with a device is awesome.

I installed Canola 2 today . . . BEAUTIFUL APP on a BEAUTIFUL TAB.

Two thumbs down to HP for sending your laptop back to you in the same condition you sent it to them.
