Sorry, but exactly WHAT is a couple of millimeters wider? The bezel/frame
around the LCD screen?


Could you post the different measurements please? There is a shop nearby
which happens to have a couple of t-23's (and t-30's) some of which I
noticed are supposed to have built in wireless. But if there is a chance
that I can find one *with* the aerial *and* there is a card which I can
swop in, one of those may be just the right nice thing for my wife's
birthday.. (to give to myself, of course, then I'll give her 600E!).
