Thanks for the feedback. Sounds encouraging. I knew the T42 series
wouldn't be as big of an issue, but I'd love to get the latest and
greatest, since it's there. :) And I'm assuming the video out you're
talking about refers to Composite out, not VGA?

Anyone else actually using a T43 with tips and pointers?
