Also the performance is pretty damn good these days. I love having it everywhere. So now when I get motivated and I am working somewhere else on a contract, I can hack some code over lunch, instead of scribbling something down and doing it when I get home... used to be a desktop man and plug in as many ISA/PCI cards as could fit (ie always 5 expansion slots)

I just wish I could work on a smaller screen. Mrs GW has a 15.4" that is ok but I feel inadequate using. I think have some real freudian monitor size issues and need some professional help. not as heavy as a desktop true, but I do get a sense of envy when I see someone whip out one of those ultra-light ultra-thin super sexy notebooks that are smaller than spiral notebook.
