[Duo2400] Hacks and success on this list

[Larry Friedman]

On the clicker note, I know its well documented, but here is something 
I noticed. In 8.1 I had clicking via the track pad turned on in the 
trackpad control panel. That caused lots of headaches in that it acted 
like the clicker was broken. Turning that feature off made my clicker 
act like its supposed to. I'm not denying the weakness of the clicker, 
just that what may appepear as a faulty unit can be a software issue 
instead.

PS I just got done repartitioning my drive out as 4gigs for 7, 4 for 8 
and the rest for 9. Yeehaw, soon I'll have all my old software loaded 
on.
