    Also, I've heard that Sony doesn¹t allow you to play DVDs on the TV-out. This isnt important for me, but would I have any problems with DivX, etc
    (I'd be using Windows XP)?

    Thanks.


    FYI, Tim - THIS is the first post I see in these 'laptop' newsgroups!

    Have a grand day!

    Sorry, I was hoping you had a point, other than another example of you
    being some sort of sad stalker?
