[Ti] Has anyone taken Big Al for a fly yet?

Not yet - I'll be traveling with it in late June.  Hopefully others 
will travel before then.  :)

Here are some things I don't like, or are requiring me to adapt from 
my 15" PowerBook...

-  The unit takes up more desk space than you'd think, because all 
the connectors are on the sides now.  Power on left, Ethernet on 
right, and it ends up taking up 20" of width on my desk.

-  I'm having a bit of trouble adapting to the larger trackpad - I 
find I have to keep lifting up my finger and redragging to move 
around the large deskspace.  I'm playing with the tracking speed to 
see if I can find a more comfortable setting.  I have always just 
used the default settings.

-  The EJECT key is now separate from F12.  I have F11 preprogrammed 
for a common app I launch and I keep missing it because I'm trained 
to hit the 2nd key from the right.  Again, I'm sure I'll adapt.

Other than these little nits the machine is a dream.  Solid, fast, 
beautiful screen, a dream to have.
