Mike Wrote:right, i get ya there. didn't realize you were hoping to retire your laptop. makes much more sense then. however, you'd acknowledged it's no good for things like tabulating results... just gonna use a desktop for that?
Remains to be seen. I can still use things like Excel... I just can't side-by-side programs like before (makes it easier to type into the website's CMS). Given I have a perfectly good 3 monitor setup that I only ever use for paying bills and photo processing, I could probably stand to use it a little more. Trying to have Excel and a browser open on a laptop was always pretty inefficient anyway.
I put my laptop in a drawer instead of listing on CL 'cause I'm not convinced yet.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
