The genreal idea is that the events will be generated when you do 
'something' with your laptop. e.g. inserting or removing a memorystick 
will generate an event.

If you have a Picturebook, you may generate a 'capture' event by 
pressing any of the camera keys. Different laptops heve different keys, 
some have 'thumbphrase' keys, 'zoom' keys, 'help' keys or special 
'programmable keys'.
These are the ones that will induce the events I am interested in.
Maybe *your* laptop even have other special keys that will generate a 
different set of events, this is what I am after.

Hope this clarifies.

These messages are expected, (I get them too) what they mean however is 
a little hard to know as Sony doesn't hand out any specs.
