Damn that looks some good Rob and at a great price

Hey ROB,

What are your thoughts on the open fan slots on the 31?? I guess the best way to describe it is where the sled would go on a 30. I just thought this was a crazy move on Panasonic's behalf, since this is the first time I have ever seen an "open" area on a Toughbook..

I haven't had any problems yet with it... only got it a little wet when I rinsed it off when I spilt some coffee on it. I'm taking her camping with me next weekend where it will be subjected to water and lots of morning dew... I'll let you know how it goes

WOW! So I got some info here:

In regards to the CSA application not working on the 64 bit Windows 7... Well, it still doesn't work, but I just manually installed the Sprint Smart View and it worked fine! Which is more than enough for me!

Additionally, you know how we could never get the touchscreen working in "touchscreen mode" in the BIOS on the CF-31's? Well I was on the phone with Ian from Panasonic for about 44 minutes and he told me to use the XP drivers for the touchscreen and that totally fixed it! When you go to calibrate, if you use the "tablet calibration" button from within the control panel it will fail with an error. BUT! if you use the calwin.exe program it will work!

It's working so far, BUT it seems to forget/loose the calibration after a little bit so I'm still looking into that, but at least we've gotten further than before and gotten away from that HORRIBLE "tablet mode" and the HORRIBLE sensitivity problems!!

Also, FWIW: I asked Ian from Panasonic if he had ever heard of "Toughbooktalk.com" and he said, yes I have... "usually when I Google search something for toughbooks, that site is the first that pops up. I use it to find all the answers to the weird problems that I have"... I said: You know, I'm the owner of that site... He was like "Ohh, wow! That's cool, I love the site, it is a great wealth of information!"

So once again, I must thank all of you guys for contributing on a regular basis and this proves yet again how PANASONIC'S EMPLOYEES even use this site to figure out problems!

Thanks!
