Obviously you've never driven either. The Miata is a blast to drive, pure and simple, while a Karmann-Ghia is slow, handles poorly and makes all the wrong noises. I believe a better comparison would be an Alfa Romeo Spider, which in addition to being fun to drive, is actually good-looking as well, especially the 1979 and earlier without the black plastic trunk cap.
Oh, to stay on-topic, my 12" PowerBook would fit nicely in the small area behind the seats of either a Miata or an Alfa spider, though I think it would be happier in a shiney new Z4 than either.

When you scheme and practice acts like Enron, Haliburton, etc., have committed, then you rightfully draw the scorn of those of us who are decent, either by practice or circumstance! :-D Regarding M$? I look at them v. us like driving a Miata v. a Karmann-Ghia convertible. Sure, the Miata may be easier to get parts for, more enviromentally friendly, modern, etc.; but if you want to get where you're going in STYLE....
