I had a feeling laptop computers are getting out fashion, for several reasons: 1.) They are heavy to carry around with. 2.) If I cannot be reached for a few hours or a day, the business won't die. This is not the 90s and stock-brokers any more. In case of really urgent matters, there are always mobile phones. 3.) If I am on a business trip for a few days, I can check my email in the hotel's business center, or at an internet cafe, once a day. Is the US different? Why on earth would you need to check your email with a mobile phone connection? I am not saying you shouldn't, it's just that I don't understand the reason why. > Perhaps as more of us migrate over to such technology, perhaps the > guideline might needs to be modified somewhat or we cannot frown on > others who might prefer top posting over bottom posting. I see your point but am amazed that you see more and more people migrating *to* that technology. I would have thought it's "very nineties". -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat!
