	Very true indeed.  I don't know, I guess I want access to
everything when I am not at home.

	The i7500 isn't really that heavy.  It's the carry cases that are
what makes the notebook heavier than it really is.  My 770Z is less than 7
pounds but the ThinkPad case is another 6 pounds.  Even though the 770Z I
have is only 13.7" but the screen does 1280x1024 and works great for DVD's
when I need a break from all that work. =)
