Love it! (Secretly... I'd want one!) ;-)

But why stop there... A G5 with that tiny display? Let's scale it up  
for a 23 inch LCD! Then you could add a compartment for a few personal  
items and a change of clothes. Add a couple of wheels and a slide out  
handle and you have the perfect computer for that quick, overnight  
business trip!!!
