Laptops are awesome
I’m sitting at a coffee shop a few blocks from home, working on REALbasic and occasionally chatting with a friend who is working on some kind of statistics project. My new, still-nameless MacBook is one of eleven visible computers. The place is full of books and there’s some chill indie-rock playing. Much as I like my office setup at home, nothing beats being able to unplug and go find a change of scene.
Have you never had a laptop before ? Wow !
I’ve had one as my main machine for so long my last desktop box was a G3/400. It is nice to be able to take it with you and work someplace where you can get away from whatever environmental issues may be plaguing you on a given day. Sometmes a change of scenery is inspiring or a tleast removes what ever mental blogs you might be having.
Sometimes though the compulsion is to drag it everywhere and that can be a bit much.

Oh, no, I’ve used laptops before! I just haven’t had one for the last year or so, after a dozen years of various PowerBooks.

It just seemed such a nice surprise. Maybe I misinterpretted what I read.
I love having a laptop especially when I can sit on my deck on a nice evening, have a cool drink and work if I feel like it or watch a DVD or just cruise the net.
that reminds me … I still have to finish the deck this year :(
