Oops, that is not what I wanted to say... ..it is possible that ACER will finish driver themselves or it is possible that ACER will pay someone to do that. (It is also possible that ACER will do normal ACPI style battery into their BIOSen and it is also possible that ACER will not do anything at all). But I do not think offer like "we'll pay $1000 to first person to that finished smartbattery support" exists. > Is it this person your relative :) ? > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%E1ra_da_Cimrman Yes, every czech is relative of this one ;-).
