 === Never even contemplated getting into a low
 profile case, fingers are just too big. I still
 get chewed up in a good sized tower.
 
 === Out of curiosity, what does the PS look like
 in one of those low profile cases? They don't even
 look like they have enough room for one.
 
 === BTW, Hope you and Mark and Matt can avoid
 the chewing up Ivan has been handing out down
 south.  Nasty pictures on the TV news.
 
 
 === Cheers from Phil, with bandaids on his fingers.
