Wanna swap me for my thinkpad then? As long as its a small one, I really
detest these desktop replacements, they are completely ludicrous. For me,
a laptop should fit in my wee bag I use on my bicycle/motorbike, weigh
nothing but have a decent keyboard and excellent battery life. Its also
gotta have decent 3D for games on the move.

OSX is far more sexy than the best WM's on linux. Plus everything works
out of the box, firewire etc etc etc.

Niall pointed out to me that the "shakey shakey" effect when one enters a
bad passwd is copied directly from OSX. There was me singing the praises
of MDK10.
