Hey Neil... Okay great. I really don't even notice it in most

Okay... great... so maybe some night when the mood hits me, I might dig in
and swap monitor screens. It IS pretty sweet to have the extra CPU power
and the extended port replicator. No more unplugging and plugging in pc
card peripherals, and now I can multitask while playing MP3s. The little
50CT just barely played the MP3s... but never let me do anything else at the
same time.
