Subject: Re: Infrared and Mouse?
Why is this interesting - yo would have to find an IR mouse with the IR port
on the left side of the mouse (not the top), or use a mouse with the laptop
facing to the left of you.
I suspect that is simply where the space was available, and may have
something to do with making the IR ports available when the laptop is in a
port expander. If the IR port were in the back, that would be hard.
I think putting the IR port on the right is simply a convention that goes
back to machines as early as the HP 200 LX palmtop, and also a concession to
the fact that the IR portsa re typically used for computer-accessory
connections, not laptop to laptop networking.

On the L100 & L110, the IR port is on the right side. This is kind of
interesting...
