Yep, that is one drawback to the 2007FPW.  the USB ports are n the  
right, so there's a cable sticking out the right side of the screen.   
It looks bad.  Not just a little, even.  I try to avoid using those  
ports, but they are convenient for the stupid USB2 ipod.

Not the ipod, the USB2 is stupid.  And slow.
