From The Road Warrior Archive - “The Genius Of The Laptop”

In December, 2003 in The Road Warrior I commented that "The laptop computer is a wonderful invention. I prefer working on laptops at any time, and mine are mostly used as desktop substitute machines, but road trips make you even more profoundly appreciate the genius of the laptop." I haven't changed my opinion since then....

Why I Won’t Be Buying An iPhone 3G

I don't dispute that the iPhone is an extremely cool little gadget, for a whole host of reasons I probably have no need to explain to most folks likely to be reading columns on this Website. However, even though Apple's iconic smartphone has finally made it's long-delayed debut here in the Great White North, I won't be buying one, and it's not mainly Apple's fault
