I think we've done this one now - I still say that Apple were stating that the capability missing from the bronzes is the ability to use two expansion bay devices.

Exactly correct as mentioned by others already. I tend to run with the battery installed,
in case of a power outage (the bane of desktops). I need a new battery (expensive in Oz)
but the old one has about 15-20 minutes of life, which I suppose is enough for it
to act as a UPS in case the power goes off ... a graceful shutdown/sleep is better
in the long run. (Of course I should have a real UPS and a new battery but I move
around a lot and have enough stuff to lug already!). Thinking about going wireless
(Airport or a PC card?) but no real point until I source a cheaper (new/newish) battery.
Adios Harry.
