But all the *cool* people are syncing their Palms via Bluetooth, right? :-) I imagine you sync the Palm the way everyone else does, via a USB adapter. And as for PC Cards, I'm not sure what the concern is. What's the reason for a PC Card slot when all that you'd use a PC Card for is built-in. Except for media cards from digicams, but the universal USB widgets for that are pretty cheap. To me, the big drawback for the iBook was always the lack of second monitor support. As soon as someone makes a little docking station, the 12" PBook becomes a true desktop replacement that is also a true laptop. To my mind that's the real reason why I look at the 12" as *finally* a Duo replacement. - Eric. -- Eric Strobel (fyzycyst@NOSPAM^mailaps.org) ===================================================================== END RADIOPHOBIA!!!
