Only 2 things to carry? How hard could that be? I carry
my portable Printer, multiport, cables, printer adapter, floppy
drive, disks, an extra PCMCIA modem, this ThinkPad (of course),
and I could fit it in just one backpack, although I normall have 2.
But back to the cordless mouse topic: technically speaking,
could one use the IR port for a mouse that connects that way?
After all, it is just a regualry interfaced serial port, right? (after what
I've heard)?
