Me? Jealous? Oh no.

I am the owner of a 3 year old Google G1 complete with smashed screen and a dell laptop help together with gaffer tape.

They failed with me today. I need, well as in want so will buy, a new laptop. Only real requirements are 8gb memory and decent screen resolution. Weight is not really a consideration but as the only mac choice is the17" model I'm order a Sony vaio z series as I type this.

You get free wifi in Starbucks plus lots of other cafes and pubs.

Then you have to buy something.

I don't get keeping the dock on the side like that, my wife does it too. What's up with that!?

I prefer having the vertical space available: I spend a lot of time coding so I want to see as many lines as possible, but I usually wrap lines around the 72 character mark, so I have plenty of horizontal space even with the Dock there.

Yes, but why must he whip out every possible bit of apple kit he could arrayed for the public? and I forgot to say he had his DSLR out as well.

Remember when Filofax was all the rage? It always amused me when I saw London commuters with briefcase in one hand, Filofax in the other.

And then later on, before we even had Wifi, hotel lounges full of suited guys using laptops.

He just wanted one of the staff to come up and say "hey you are super cool and that my friend is coming from someone who works for Apple in this super cool shop selling super cool stuff to super cool people" while the whole store whooped and cheered and the massive amounts of cool eminating from himself.

He could have been paid to do that, ya never know.
