Thanks to everyone for your input regarding my ergonomic query. I have taken some ergonomics training from some graduate researchers so I had some idea of the changes the laptop would make to my work set-up. However, I wanted to get some real life user experience to see what I might run into--thanks for all the info! Now, onto buying that screamer! ::Kevin J.
