I can hardly believe it has been this long! Next time we are in town I'd like to make plans for some dinner and some sunset pics together. I'd love to meet Penny!

Thanks, Kat. The desktop's still alive, that's a nice, strong little computer, albeit a bit dated now :-) |

Yup. It's not intended to be seriously portable. I can move it around the house easily enough, though.

Ach... I'm still disappointed it wasn't Schrodinger's Cat ;-) Although I suppose this is infinitely more useful!
Oddly, I was just looking at some 18" laptops in a brick & mortar store the other day. Man, they are big! The upside is, the screen is very useable, and the keyboard feels like a full-size keyboard, including having a real numeric keypad. I like that there is room for a second HDD as well. I can really see having an SSD for OS/apps, and a traditional drive for data. One of these things can be a very capable desktop replacement.
Now, get yourself a good wireless mouse and keyboard, plug in a second display, and you're rockin'! I see that Wacom is now offering a wireless version of their Intuos 4 tablet too.

| I'm dissapointed that it wasn't a bunch of trained squirrels and birds from VAWendy. I'm sure shes got plenty to spare ;) |
