- Why the sarcasm? I could respond in kind, but i'll bite my fingers

- casing (well, the case would have to be the same width as the keyboard,
- but that probably would be a good thing anyway). Actually, a bigger
- screen would be nice too.....

- HOW DARE YOU TELL ME WHAT I NEED IN MY LAPTOP. WHAT AN ASS! MAYBE
- YOU HAVE THE FINGERS (and apparently the mind) OF A 5 YEAR OLD, BUT

- I don't put the keyboard to a desktop unit on my lap, and I sure as
- hell won't put an entire "laptop" machine on my lap, so who cares if
- the keyboard is wider than my lap. I don't, and frankly that's all
- that matters!
-
- You can call it a tomato for all I care, I just want a machine that
- I can use and carry with me.
