I guess I wasn't clear in my suggestion, but I meant for a 92.  Once the
plus module comes out, who needs the rest of that crap?  And I do want it
smaller.  Anyway, the main point was to use aluminium, cause plastic is
dead.
_And_ 40% thinner IS possible.  Anything is possible if you try hard enough.
