After reading about this, I tried putting my 2000 on its side on a table next
to the desk and it's now much easier to use - it takes up less space and now
it looks like a 500!  My only concern is this:  when I purchase a 2090 and get
some kind of internal hard disk, will I have any problem using the 2000 on
its side?
