Yeah, the 12in iBook was the biggest I'd accept in my 
luggage. Apple really need to bring out a smaller PC.

I'm back on my ThinkPad X41 (11in screen), but keep looking 
longingly at smaller computers :)

Who wants to carry a desktop around? ;-)
I spend much of my time travelling, and working on
trains, in cafés, et al., and smaller laptops win
because of both weight & being small enough to 
get out & use anywhere :)

Last call on my SGI/Irix boxen before they're scrapped?
