I'd like to see a forum dedicated to portable technology -- laptops, PDAs, media players, and other personal electronics items. I understand that the mod staff is not a big fan of adding new forums, and that the content of this forum could work just fine in myriad existing forums, but I think creating it would make the Mech more of a destination for people who want advice on or tech support for these types of devices.

That is a wonderful idea.. I always run into a few little problems with my Lyra 2780 or Palm or something and post them up here and even though I get wonderful replies and most of my problems have been resolved somehow, a few more 'inteligent' people might join to browse those threads and could possible contribute a lot...

Thank you for your suggestion. The staff is discussing it.

It makes sense......we do get alot of posts about what laptop to get, and mp3 player questions, ect.

Hey, that sounds like a pretty good idea

It's going to happen, folks - we are just hammering out the exact verbage for the title and description. Stay tuned.

Would never have noticed if this thread hadn't existed... I usually just click the new posts lists, and I never need to look at where the thread is posted as it doesn't matter to me

You need to look at the index from time to time - and also read the announcements.
