My first laptop was a 12" iBook. Nowadays, it would be considered heavy and clunky but I got more done on that little chap that any laptop or desktop since. He easily fit in my handbag I took to work (and everywhere else).

I wrote every day on Bob (his name was Bob) and the only modification I made to make it more comfortable to type was to add little semi-circular blobs held on with velcro (which everyone in my office referred to as the "lumpy feet"). I think they were really called "speed balls" (of all things) and they were superb. When I took them off the laptop, I pushed them together to make a little sphere which happily lived in my bag until needed again. I wish they were still available.

The only program I ever used on Bob was Word, though. Although it had other programs & capabilities, I can't recall even using a browser or anything else.

I miss Bob.
