Absolutely- and they won't kill your eyes. I already suffer having to keep my glasses on more than I'd like to after years and years of laptopping for various reasons. Mind you, I love my laptop(s), and I wouldn't say they're dumb because they practically ruined my eyes

He says books are dumb but does not dare to write it like that because people who say "books are dumb" are generally considered stupid.

Aren't they? Eh. I'm under the same impression. After all it's like saying that pbooks are dumb because they can't play videos. Uh, like, NO?

Or general text, if I can help it.

All a lame car can do is transport you from place to place if there happens to be a road connected to that location that your car will fit on. Pfft...
I will stick with my bike. It doesn't need any fuel, it can go where there are smaller roads, heck where there are no roads. I can also carry it upstairs and store it in my closet. With such a versital think who the heck would by a dedicated single purpose device like a car. LAME!
