Speaking taking your computer along while travelling to motels and
hospitals and camping sites, and leaving your computer unattended inside
your car or your motel or hospital room, or inside your tent, or on a desk
at a public library, I can always trust my old faithful XT to be a far more
reliable traveling companion than any modern laptop or notebook. Whenever
I have to walk away and leave the computer by its lonesome for a while, I
can always depend on its still being right where I left it after I return.
I have been told that a modern laptop will frequently let you down and
suddenly abandon you as soon as you should take your eyes off of it. They
can grow more legs than a centipede and they can run faster than an olympic
sprinter.
