With the pcmcia slot, doesn't that give a person the ability to copy from one cf card to another? The whole card is most likely to big to fit on the machine. Terry Powers

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.
