I have a port replicator for my TP365XD and I'm telling ya it is quite handy. Although
I do not know the cost between the port replicator and a full fledged docking station
would be. Ask Bill Morrow, he'd know. :)
  I would strongly suggest a spare battery. Very handy when you're on the move and
a power outlet is no where in sight. I also would suggest a small surge protector. I keep
a small one plug surge protector with my laptop where ever I go now. I know my UPS's
power is clean, but who knows about other people's power. Too expensive of a toy to
risk.
