[quote:RB2:MV8xNTQ3MDg1XzI1NTQ5ODE2XzI5QjEyNTJC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 694452] RB2, you are really going to be pissed off when the electrical grid goes down. We all will be unhappy, but you will need convincing that life without computers is worth living. [/quote] Nah I'll be alright. It's a hobby and a living but really, I'm flexible enough to do without. I'm living a good life now because I've worked hard for it. I haven't forgotten where I came from, which is a very poor family. [/quote]

Yes, it's cool that laptops are small and sexy, and portable.
I've got one. But I don't love it.
I greatly prefer using the mouse of my desktop instead of my carpal tunnel fingers on the laptop.
I hate the pressure of completing an activity when my wireless laptop tells me it's time to shut down. Time to charge yet again.
Most desktops can kick most laptops butts in terms of computing power.
Laptops are taking over the world. They are loved by the idiot text-messengers. They are cool, but they are a part of the conspiracy to keep us out of the present moment. We will be easier to control as a result.
