Milo, that info on the wide screen format is interesting. "remember - a wide screen is a normal screen with the top and bottom cut off.." I suspected it was something like that but I didn't want to appear dumb.
This 1:1.3 aspect ratio (or what ever it is) suits me fine. I think I'll hold back on carving up the HP and get back to the networking. Sorry, two threads are becoming 'mangled'.
