Does anyone else here own one of the new Mxx series Aptivas?

My girlfriend just purchased an M40.

I'm looking for advice, suggestions, tips, warnings, etc.

I do have a couple of specific questions:
1. I want to rearrange the hard drive partitions.  Right now
there is 1 big 1gig parition.  I want to change this to
the setup I have on my system:
C: = DOS/Win31
D: = OS/2 Warp
E: = OS/2 Applications

My concern is that I do not want to lose any of the preinstalled
software.

What is the best way to go about doing this?  Would it be to simply
manually remove Warp from drive C:?

I have a program called "Partition Magic" which will let me resize
partitions without affecting the data currently on the drive.

2. How can one obtain the special edition of "VoiceType Dictation"
that is preinstalled on the M60 & M70?  Normally VTD requires a
seperate add in card, but IBM changed it so that it can be
used on the new Mxx Aptiva's without the add in card. 
(I'm not sure what VTD uses now...maybe a combination of the
Pentium proc. and Media proc?)

followups have been directed to comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.systems.
Please feel free to reply via email too.

THANKS!!!
