Yes, absolutely. The new PC Express card slot, which I think you
are talking about in most modern laptops, can be used for much
more (sound cards, storage, video cards, and so on). Not much of
this is to the BN's advantage, so I say take it out and put in
another CF slot, then use the remaining extra space for one of
those new 30GB hard drives, like the Icon. I know I will get
replies talking about those who already have PCMCIA cards, but
most of those do not even work in the mPowers (the 3.3 volt only,
right?) and so it seems to a greater user advantage to put the
PCMCIA slot's space to better use.
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] PCMCIA card old fashioned?
I've seen more modern laptops with a new Mini-PC card
(the same type of card, but about maybe half the size
of the ones accepted by the BrailleNote) and with WiFi
being built in, as well as hard drives becoming USB
based, do you think the PCMCIA card slot should be
removed from the BrailleNote and replaced by something
else?
