It took a while for me to find them, but I needed to pair my old pointer (Gemini GPMBTP) with my new laptop, and lost the instructions of which buttons to push. Thank you for these instructions.

I haven't tried using the new processor under windows, so I can't comment for sure, but I'm almost 100% positive that that it would be able to playback Hulu content much better than your current processor. I watched about 30 CPU's sell on E-Bay before finding the BE-2400 at a lower than average price. I'm using MythTV running on Linux for my PVR setup, with a Silicon Dust HDHomerun network (Ethernet) tuner (which I recommend, it works with windows media center as well as Linux). Jay Hi Ken,

Got mine refurbished from TigerDirect and have been pleased overall. Was trying to solve the issue of HD video streaming-- frame rate when streaming with silverlight or hulu in HD isn't quite there. Do you notice an improvement in this area or would this be a graphics chipset limitation that couldn't be overcome by a faster processor? Finally, if you don't mind, I have a few more questions... What OS are you using on your system? Do you mind sharing where you found your BE-2400 for such a great price, or was it a special one-off situation? What's the rest of your HTPC setup like? I am putting together a Windows Home Server system with all my media on it, and I'm on Win 7 on all PC's. XBMC seems like a great interface; while I'm an intermediate tecchie, I'm a newbie when it comes to HTPC builds and am trying to figure out what to do. Thanks much - Ken Jay,

I remember what a pain it was to do years ago, your instructions are simple thank you!!! Motorola's pairing method on this device is not very intuitive as we know from the number of comments you have received. Just thank you again for making it simple.

First time it charged in little over an hour, and I then proceded to run battery eater pro v2.70 when it said I had just 20 min over battery time :( But it stuck at 7,4% and it's still there now after an hour of hardcore processing. So I'm a very happy man! By the way I had huge difficulty getting the batteries out without destroying the cartrige, which I ended up doing. But I taped somthing up and now I'm home free :) Thanks again! Greetings for The Netherlands. Hey man,

The only issue was when I was making the last cut to complete the circle. When the blade got very close to completing the circle, the small amount of glass shattered (breaking off the circle of glass) and started a 3″ crack, which looked very much like the first crack on my first sphere.
