  I am trying to keep myself informed on news and  changes that are related to Transmonde notebooks or computers [notebooks] in general, and especially those that may increase the life expectancy of my machine and improve its preformance [I mean some specific aspects].
Though I do check my sources periodically, your updates would be of everybody's interest, so let us know  YourNews !

driverUpdate:sound | ESS finally took a look at its own Web-site and noticed that 'generic' drivers there are 'slightly' out-dated. Looks like Win2000 release made ESS update the Drivers section to include reference to Win2000 drivers, so that other drivers were updated 'along' the way. There's also WDM drivers for Maestro-2.
Check out Drivers section.

download | If you enjoy your sound-card functionaity you may try 'standard' audio-utility that ESS used to include with its AudioDirve drivers. It's called AudioRack, and it's in fact a customizable graphic rack that includes MIDI, WAV (DAT), CD, and Mixer with play/record functionality. This works with Maestro-2 as well -- I tried.

download | From Synaptics you can also download a 'toy' called Theremin. This toy turns your TochPad into a 'musical' instrument [it's up to to you how name that music],  it sounds like a saw-concerto,  but some sounds are pretty groovy -- you may even try to record a soundtrack for a SiFi clip :).
