Go to radioshack, they sell this monitor stand that DOES NOT BLOCK the sides of the 500. Works Great! Ya can slid the Whole 500 under it. Also some monitors have "legs" that allow ya to set them on ya 500. >* DOES have a separate keyboard wich can be put UNDER the compter. I've never found this usefull... It would be nice tho to have JUST the keyboard taking up desk space, but since the computer fits perfecally under my monitor, I have no need for this, >* does NOT have an ugly external power-supply. Personally i think this is one of the BEST ideas about the 500. ya don't have the following problems. * No heat coming from the powersupplie to the computer. * No "Interference" affecting the machine. Ya can put the powersupplie on the floor and Heat ya Feet on it! Only thing i hate is that the normal 500 powersupplie is CHEAP. I got a Microline, $99, Easy to get to Fuse, SOLID, Metal case, Lots of Vents. and has 3 outlets in the back, thus one flip, whole system is on. Oh yea, i got a $5 fan on my supplie/monitor to keep it EXTRA cool. Due to it being in a "confined" space. >* has an easily modifiable ROM. Yea.. ALmost makes ya wish they'd allow 2.0 on a KS disk. :^) What was the Question? -- yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu aka Willis F York aka Squid on IRC The only thing that Apple invented is the idea to borrow Xerox-invented ideas. (Hope THIS sig don't insult anyone!) :^)
