Beyond that, there is >absolutely no free space in it. There's no prayer for an internal harddrive Don't forget to mention the expansion port, which is basically a 100-pin connector. Any expansion in the future will go thru this connector. I am hoping that the Toshiba engineers will consider the use of this connector for an external harddisk. I will hate myself if I have to buy the serial harddisk by Weltec in the future. As I always say to myself, 100 pins are a lot of pins ! Therefore, I think T1000SE has a lot of potential for expansion/upgrade ! Patrick Wong -----------------------------------pcw@squid.graphics.cornell.edu
