Looking around campus (instructors, students, and university owned) the biggest use I *now* see is adding current technologies to older notebooks...firewire cards, for example. The point I was making is that once upon a time having a PC card slot was essential because notebooks lacked so many features. I well remember spending big bucks to get a modem/network dual card so the Toshiba the university expected me to use would actually be useful for more than keeping a bit of my desk dust-free. But for typical usage I don't see the overwhelming need today. david -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
