why don't they just get a subnotebook instead? the size and form factor are about the same, the hardware has had a few more generations of realworld testing, and it would also have a keyboard.

speaking of backpackers, back in the day, when my Father had to organize a research expedition to go into the mountains of Nepal, they picked the Mac Classic for the mission (the portables, if you could call it that, the one's made for instance by compaq were not much smaller back then). imagine lugging a mac classic in your backpack :-P

A Good Laugh

oh thats great lol

Thanks for the grin. Although the title is misleading : with so many things going wrong, this is much more of a "Bill gates" than a "Steve Jobs" presentation :-)
