The sad truth is I think, that Duo's (as they come) are becoming of limited 
use in the context of a University.  Around this one (where I work part time) 
there is an *expectation* now that students will run seminars and do 
presentations with the aid of Powerpoint or whatever.  And of course, Duos 
have no video-out port.  I was recently trying to persuade a student to hang 
onto his Duo230 and extolling its merits, but the guy said it simply didn't 
do what he needed to do with a computer.

Which is by way of saying, that minidocks are *incredibly rare* in the UK, 
that I ain't got one, and that I want one for myself!  (and my brief 
experience with eBay makes me nervous of that route).  Anyone in the UK got a 
minidock they could sell me??  Thank you.
