I must say, in 2.5.54 I am *extremely* impressed by ACPI and how far it has excelled over APM. I used to never be able to have my computer automatically power off when I halted the system but now with ACPI it goes off! This is quite a trivial task too for this is an eMachine and imho it has a weird button setup period. Many thanks to the developers and maintainers of ACPI, keep up the good work.

That's funny since I was just cursing the ACPI code a little while ago. Beginning around 2.5.51 I have to boot with "acpi=off" to avoid having the machine slow to a crawl and never actually finish booting up.

spelling error: trivial/non-trivial. Thanks Larry.
