Whilst my wife was watching dateline ( SBS) this afternoon, I noticed
that the presenter has a Apple powerbook ( titanium) on his desktop,
proudly showing off the white? apple logo.
It bemuses me though what good a laptop is to a tv presenter, unless
they have a shedule, Q cards or the like on the screen.

When I studied IT at TAFE an early unit traced the history of the modern
computer.
The first portable was said to be the Osborne, when asked (by me I
think) what it was for, he said 'mainly as a status symbol'.
On the whole I dont see much has changed really, most laptops do their
stuff atop a desk anyway...
Not all but most. What does Rove use his for? George Negus' one, albeit
not an Apple?
At least the iPod can play music to you while it makes you look good out
on the street;)
