	Doesn't the TransWarp simply suck power from the slot that it's in?
If so then it doesn't matter if it's in slot 3 or 4.. Actually I think they
say that in the documentation. I remember some people complaining that
that was said, but the actual cable they gave to connect to the CPU slot
wasn't long enough to do it from one of the two slots (3 or 4).

	No I don't! Thats because the Duet -won't have- square pixels. That
has almost completely removed even the idea of buying it from my head. As
I've said, I don't want a standalone Mac.. A Mac inside my GS would be very
'neat' and fun, but not if it still uses the (slightly behind the times)
GS graphics! One of the only great things about the Mac is its square
pixels. As I said in another post, a Mac without square pixels is just
a GS (in terms of desktop stuff.. don't flame me, I already know how many
advantages the GS has when it comes to sound/text programs/etc).
