Re: "Less is more" or "Bigger is better"

[Zoltan Batiz]

An interesting thread, so I thought I'd chime in.  My Pismo is my main 
computer. . .period.  I use it at home docked on it's multiple fan 
cooling station, elevated for my ergonomic needs, which of course is 
connected to my Firewire and USB devices.  Oh and on the subject of 
screen real estate?  At home my Pismo is always connected to my 17" 
Apple Studio Display. . .PLENTY of real estate to do my work.  For 
those rare occasions when I have to go out to see clients, I grab my 
laptop bag, which can neatly house my Pismo, flat bed scanner, CD/RW, 
Zip Drive, and two extra batteries.  The bag isn't even too big either. 
. .but probably weighs as much as the average American, but hey I LOVE 
to see my clients reactions as I bust out an entire office on the 
table; of which everything mentioned is powered from my Pismo via the 
Firewire and USB ports.

By the way folks, this brings me to the TWO REASONS I will have a very 
hard time ever parting from my Pismo.  Besides two batteries, the hot 
swappable expansion bays are key elements for my needs, that always pop 
up when least expected.  So, if Apple somehow figures out how to make a 
PowerBook G5 with those two main elements, I'll be the first in line.  
And yea, it's gonna have to be a G5 to get me away from my Pismo.

Probably a third reason is due to the advent of wireless technologies.  
Wireless, as we all know, has put an enormous jump on laptops in 
general through sales and overall demand.  Of course my two bedroom 
condo is wireless and yes, I'm "technosexual" as was described the 
other day on the news. . .I have the occasional "geek" parties with as 
much as 12 to 14 people all wirelessly connected to my network via 
their laptops, PB's and iBooks, surfing and downloading.  I've got a 
shared T1, so I might as well be generous with the bandwidth when I'm 
not using it right?

Anyway, as a former desktop user who had a computer it seems that was 
the size of my room with SCSI this and SCSI that just four short years 
ago, the Pismo has made me a true believer in laptop technology and I 
will never go back to a tower at home.  NEVA!  LOL.

Anyway, happy new year everyone. . .no more shots for me.
