My ceiling of my slot also got pushed up. Thank god I have that PCMCIA slot thing from the dictionary or I wouldn't be able to back up, as I back up on to a compact flash card. I wonder if this is a real issue. For instance, the ceiling of the slot is pushed up...So will this cause any malfunctions in the future? Could this possibly worsen? I'm curious because this could be important... Also regarding the IM clients and things, does anyone know what the KS8.0 IM client will support?
