I use the *windowed* cover. It covers most of the opening, leaving just enough room for your cards and still allows you pop out the XJack without any difficulty! The cover also makes it cosmetically more appealing! ;) I tell you Randy, the attention to small details says a lot for the 750c designers!! >And is the battery life affected by cards that are plugged in, but not >in use? How much is it affected by cards that *are* in use? This I'm not sure. I would think that if the modem was plugged in, without it being loaded via Config.sys...wouldn't use any extra power. I think that if the modem drivers are loaded, power drainage would be the same, regardless if the modem is in use or dormant! The other day I started to time the battery with the modem active (drivers loaded), I had to take off, but I had it going for at least 2 hours. I'm trying to get the info to Sean, but I'm not quite finished. I wonder how many responses Sean received?! Take care Randy, Joseph Pereira
