Thanks I was looking hard at that. It looks like a good semi-portable 
development system. As for suspend/sleep.. I seem to always "shutdown"
anyway,

eSata has been awesome.. I've been buying the Seagate eSata externals and
using them for system backups, even over ethernet to the servers
via a laptop.

As I get older, screen size, sharpness and brightness seems to be a major 
factor, glad you likes this thing.
