The big problem with mobile computing is always the weight. Years ago I used to use a Psion handheld (you're probably too young to remember them) to write and (mostly) do email on trains (and type faster text messages...). Once that wore out I bought a 2nd-hand Sony Vaio, but even that was sufficiently weighty that I don't think I ever actually took it away or on the train w me. And with internet cafes everywhere, one doesn't need mobile computing just for email. Anyway, have now settled for using train rides for reading or sleeping. I tell myself that when they finally come up with a phone-sized PC gadget that can talk wirelessly to both an ultra-thin roll-up LCD screen AND a "projection keyboard", I might re-consider.<BR/><BR/>Of course, the danger of gadgetry is that you become dependent on the things. I know one Professor who was due to fly soon after 9/11. When they told him at the airport that enhanced security meant laptops would have to not be with their owners for the flight duration, he decided not to go at all. He said he had to be able to work on the plane, but I always suspected separation anxiety. <BR/><BR/>I have heard lots of stories about male anaesthetists (especially) or surgeons (quite often) who become wedded to their utility-belt-attached PDAs, BTW ("updating my logbook" is the main excuse).PhD scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653179299453839890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646672781891265261.post-12475142740836490132007-11-15T15:22:00.000+00:002007-11-15T15:22:00.000+00:00Sounds rather nice, but i still like my lenovo lap...Sounds rather nice, but i still like my lenovo laptop with fingerprint recognition - no more passwords for me......Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06329448556395742786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646672781891265261.post-45227225154356991602007-11-15T12:32:00.000+00:002007-11-15T12:32:00.000+00:00PBL got a bashing in this post!PBL got a bashing in this post!missblisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426788119438585185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646672781891265261.post-72692039656343782172007-11-15T12:20:00.000+00:002007-11-15T12:20:00.000+00:00hullo! would love to make some smart techy comment...hullo! would love to make some smart techy comment to show off my knowledge of such stuff, but sadly, knowledge in this area is greatly lacking. oops. <BR/><BR/>but have fun playing with your new baby! ;)<BR/><BR/>speaking of which, HOW AM I GOING TO GET RID OF MY TEXTBOOKS! arghhhh.ditzydoctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03008315483151243641noreply@blogger.com
