I see you've taken a return trip to LoopyLand, the magical world where the
Mac Mini is an excellent choice for taking to class or on an aircraft.

Lest ye forget, two of the reasons why the Apple god said that netbooks
should hardly be considered personal computers were the "cramped keyboards"
and the "very small screens." What does that make the iThings with their
screens about a third the size of a base netbook and their tiny, touch
keyboard simulations?

iTouch/iPhone are fine machines, Tom, but they are emphatically NOT
netbooks. Until you can show me someone typing a document at full speed into
OpenOffice or an equivalent, I ain't buying that line for a second.
