Re: Leonard Nimoy has died at 83

in Milliways
I think he was also a VA in Civilization IV. Also, I've gotta track down an old VHS tape I have with several episodes of Star Trek TOS recorded off of the Sci-Fi channel (or "Syfy" as they're known by nowadays) and watch it again some day.

I'd recommend going to Acer's website as well, since the majority of laptops with switchable graphics that I've seen require manufacturer-specific drivers. Don't use any kind of driver software like DriverToolkit; it's really unnecessary and might lead to some problems with PUPs and such.
