Lights? What lights? The only light is on the latch.

The palmrest has a slight "thickening" between the arrow keys and the space
bar. This may create the illusion of a sunken keyboard but is really just
elegant form factor in action. Unless yours is actually busted. Check the
alignment of the keys along the top edge and sides of the keyboard. Should
be relatively consistent all the way around.

Hard to tell without trying a cardbus card. I don't know any other way,
short of opening the machine and knowing what to look for inside.
> 3b. Are there an pre-cardbus pc-card harddrives?
PC card hds suck, why would you want one? They're slow and small and
expensive. For about $150 you could put a 5400rpm 40gb 8mb buffer ibm in it.
