Jeremy – that’s just crazy talk, giving up your laptop! The only way that I’m giving up technology is either if I’m consolidating devices or there was incontrovertible proof that it was wrecking the universe (like Warp speed in the Star Trek universe). In indirect ways, we are wrecking our planet slowly but surely, but it sure is tough to make all of the little linkages and come to the conclusion that we must divest ourselves of all of the end-products that we use daily. End of mini-speech.

Jeremy,
Personally, I couldn’t live without my MacBook any more. At one point, I was totally into big, powerful desktop machines but once the MacBook came on the scene 18 months ago, a lot of dust has gathered on that beast. If this MacBook died tonight, I’d walk into the Apple store tomorrow morning and buy another one.
