Subject: ACPI Support Is Improving Amazingly

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.
