hmm... you're right, I never wondered how much power the other setup might
need.

I hate cables. :)
but yes, maybe that's the way to go. I must say that bluetooth is the only
thing I really miss on the 2100 after having used a palm connected to a
mobile phone hidden in your jacket which felt just like wlan everywhere (the
bills feel different, of course).
ok. cable.
thanks for the input! dankeschoen! ;)
