Well, sort of... My family of four often has four on-line 
simultaneously... but I guess I'm having trouble imagining myself at 
Starbucks with alaptop on my left and another on my right playing a game 
and answering a serious business email at the same time'

I have two laptops.  A work laptop and a personal laptop.

The work laptop is loaded with business apps, VPN, and other stuff I need if
I'm on the road.  My personal laptop has software that inappropriate for my
work laptop; games, blogging software, wardriving software, etc.
If I have to go on an extended trip, I have to make a choice on which laptop
to take.  In many cases, I take only one.  But there have been times when my
trip is extended and I want to take both. 

It is easy to see how I would stop at a Starbucks, and log on with both
computers.  One to do work on and one to play on.  This is a current, real
need of a businessman today that has any tech hobbies.
With the scope of wifi devices increasing to include PDAs, phones, and
eventually GPSrs, watches, automobiles, etc., it is clear that multiple,
simultaneous connections are needed now and in the future.
Consider the idea of a home network twenty years ago.  It was nearly
inconceivable due to costs of hardware the state of connectivity.  Today, I
doubt that many on this list do not have a home network with multiple,
simultaneous connections for computers and other devices to the internet.
Make a little more sense now?

boys, boys, boys,
Being a computer sociopath myself, I would just like to know 
more about 
why Sean or anyone needs to up on two laptops at once?

Please. The customer is *not* "always right". Perhaps you
