>Okay, one more naive question - why a notebook over a laptop? I would never consider a laptop because of the cramped screen, cramped keyboard, and track pad. Everyone I know with a laptop has it connected to an external monitor, external keyboard, and a real mouse.
If I had to work on the road I would grudgingly use one, but I don't so I won't. If I wanted to get to files both at home and at work I would either store those files on a small portable drive, at S3 or similar services, or I would set up a VPN. For home use I think a 24-inch iMac would be ideal. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
