...thus illustrating the uneducated public's widespread notion that,
since technology tends to shrink with development, and laptops are
smaller than most other types of computers, that laptops are the "new"
computers, and anything other than a laptop is obsolete.
I don't even know what to say at this point. Each time I see an
example of incredible stupidity in our society I think "wow, it can't
get any worse than that"...then someone steps up to prove me wrong.
Congrats on your 4100, by the way. I ran quite a few of those at work
for a long time; they're great machines when configured with higher-end
processors.
