If they'd get the alsa driver issues in the Aspire laptops fixed...what a freakin' nightmare. Nothing short of downloading the latest and greatest from the Alsa Project and compiling it, THEN hacking the modprobe.conf file to accommodate it. Holy cow....

But hey...at least the USB 3 infrastructure is in place.
