   Well, as I suspected, the Win version of Cyber's software seems to run   
   fine.  A quick battery diagnostic with reporting of estimated time left.

   Tried it in Chrome, same result.  Lags after test is initiated.  Looks   
   like I'll have to boot into Win every so often to check battery condition.   
      
   By the way, I'd appreciate any suggestions for terminal commands for   
   uninstalling the Cyber Linux software.  No sense keeping it and I'll   
   just use Ubuntu's built in charge/ time indicators.   
      
   Thanks!
