Thanks for posting this- I followed your advice and ended up watching the youtube videos posted. It's fascinating technology and NOW I know what I want to wait for !!
I agree with her that most of what we do with our laptops is READ - whether it be books, emails, research (I'm taking an online cataloging course... and I'm reading and researching constantly to find the answers that I need! then posting assignments.)
I think that I might watch for the DIY kits she mentions, instead of constantly getting more laptops!
