The notebook (the shift to notebooks is going on at a furious pace -- soon will be the day that fewer than 1% have two machines) will be the center of everyone's computing life. [...] At a 1:1 (one computer to one person), computing hit it's sweet spot. [John Robb's Radio Weblog] Been doing this since the mid-90s for non-programming work, and since early 2000 for everything (thanks to Linux and now Mac OS X). I'm surprised at how most of my otherwise very clueful friends and colleagues resist the trend, often because their unwillingness to change their clunky email setups. My approach since I started has been to download all my email to my notebook, and forget about servers except as portals to the wider world. 2:32:46 AM
