Still can't get the laptop to work, but Mom wanted a new one anyways, so we went out to see what was available in town today so I could research tonight and we can buy tomorrow. Pretty much down to the EEE and the chibi Acer model and I'm checking out reviews to see if Mom wants to buy up. Since the EEE is at Target I'm reading the reviews and come across this one that seems coherent, proper punctuation, capitalization, etc. Read the title, oh, maybe it really drains the battery if you leave it up a lot, right...?
VERY IMPORTANT-Always close the laptop when not in use!

This is a great little laptop for everyday use but make sure you keep it closed when you are not using it due to privacy concerns. The first time I finished using it I left it on and open and that was a big mistake. I thought it was a secure laptop but when I went across the room to change my clothes I noticed that I was being watched. At first I didn’t notice the eyes in the screen because every time I looked at the laptop the eyes in the screen were closed. When you look at the screen with your peripheral vision you can see the eyes watching you. I thought the eyes were an included option but after careful consideration, I realized it was a demon inside the laptop. Do all these machines have internal demons or just a select few? Can the end user delete him or do I have to have him removed by the factory? Would this be covered under warranty? Do I have to worry about him stealing my identity? Because of this problem with the laptop, I will have to change my clothes in another room, which is a major inconvenience. Take this into consideration before you buy this model. Lisa
