Not an external monitor, but raised to eye level and sitting in a computer hutch. Yes, when at my desk, it is not mobile. It is my only computer, and I'm not travelling at all these days. So it is merely "sitting in" for a desktop computer. And have you tried entering numeric data much on a laptop computer? Having an external keyboard (with page up and page down keys [vs. having to use two hands to do that on the PowerBook keyboard] and a numeric keyboard) probably quadruples my efficiency and accuracy. I know there's that "num lock" feature on the PowerBook, but I've never been able to use that as well as the actual numeric keypad on the full keyboard. > > Precisely my point, when mobile you turn it off. Part of your point, yes. But you seemed to imply that BT is not used much at all.
