Gene: Don't you have an HP Pavilion? It it's anything like my ZX5000 there's a
push button just above the touchpad that turns it off - it's probably not the
case here, but I mention it because, as in the famous Edgar Allan Poe
story "The Purloined Letter", the answer is sometimes staring you in the
face ;-) If HP removed that feature, I would find that very annoying -
sometimes I bump mine, or turn it on and forget to turn it off, and it always
bites me unexpectedly when it gets left on - I know that aggravation well.
Nope, no button on this one. Darn it...
