Andy,
I have to agree with you on the pcm cia slot.I can understand why people with
older Note family members, who have invested in microdrives would like to see
that slot retained. But I haven't seen such a slot on any
laptop I've looked at in the store for the last year or more, including the one
I bought earlier this year. I wonder if retention of that slot was just one of
the ways Humanware sought to make the transition/upgrade easier
for previous customers. I'd certainly rather see a different media type, or two
sd slots or whatever as opposed to pcm cia. For those who say pcm cia isn't
scarce, I'd like to hear some examples of pcm cia devices
being sold right now, other than the micro drive, of course, which I guess is
still available. I have the idea that pcm cia devices are more costly and eat
more battery than do sd or flash cards. If that's wrong, please
educate me.
Mary
