I have come into possession of a Dell CP1 P2 400 MHz and has win XP pro on
it. . It is all I need for some WiFi-ing and a little home network. Works
great too except I need to get a new battery.

MY question is - where are the screen controls? You know, I want to know
how to turn down the contrast a bit because I heard that higher contrast
eats up battery power. The only other (old) laptop I have messed around
with had some dials on the side of the screen display panel. If it is a
software solution I cannot find it.

...D.

symbol).. Not too familiar without seeing, Its there though.
