Acronis 11.5 - Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro - Touchpad Freezes

Lenovo has revived my previous disgust with it's general crumminess.
Dumb thing only comes with two USB ports and no internal CD/DVD drive.
So here I am, trying to do a out-of-the-box image drive of it, and when anything is plugged into the USB port, no touchpad mouse.
Yes, I was a good geek and updated the BIOS and touchpad/keyboard drivers, no joy.

Saw a post (which I now can't find to give props) where this dude unplugged his USB stick, plugged in a USB mouse which worked, removed the USB mouse, then plugged in USB stick, and touchpad mouse started to work.

I figured why not, and tried it.  Well, the USB mouse did indeed work, but stopped working when it was unplugged.

I borrowed a co-workers USB splitter, so I could have the external Image drive, external CD/DVD drive, and external mouse, which thankfully is working.

FavIcon from Pics

Ever wonder how other web sites display the miniature icon in the URL line, like Blogger's orange and white B? FavIcon from Pics allows you to upload the picture/graphic you want to be the icon, converts it to a 16x16 format. Then it shows you what it will look like. You like it, you can download it in a zip file. You don't, upload a different pic and see how it goes. It will even give you an animated icon, but I thought that was too cheesy.

It also gives you the link to get the .ico to work. I would have published it here, but Blogger wouldn't let me post HTML. I put the line in the Style Configuration section of each page, below the link to my .css stylesheet. If you're going to validate it W3C XHTML Trans., don't forget to put the /> to close the link.
