"If only I could have waited" dept. I needed to get my laptop when I did, but if I could have waited until now, I would be thinking  seriously about the new 12" Apple Powerbook G4.  It's not quite as small and light as my Lifebook P, but it does run OS X, and Apples products are typically of the finest quality.  It's even price-competitive! When I was shopping last summer and fall, I was really interested in an OS X machine.  However, my primary consideration, above even performace, was (and remains) maximum portability.  My primary options were the Lifebook and the Sony Picturebook.  At the time, Apple just didn't have a competitive device.  Now they do.  Hopefully, it will still be around when it comes time to buy a replacement.  If so, I may be making the "switch". 10:12:52 AM

The next time you buy food, take a look at the ingredients.  Notice how much of what you eat contains either natural or artificial flavor.  Do a google search to see what this means.  Read (or listen to) Fast Food Nation, by Eric Schlosser.  Think about how all of these chemical additives, the exact contents of which are not required to be devulged by the FDA, and wonder how these chemicals might be affecting your overall health.  6:12:03 AM
