I've used the Fujitsu Lifebook for over 2 years now, and I truly love it. It's obvious that these little guys haven't taken off, as I still get comments about it.
Yes, I like how light it is. It's got all the ports and drives I need. The keyboard is a little small and funky, but thankfully, I didn't learn how to touch type properly (becuase the right shift is in the wrong place, I'm told.).
While the weight difference is nice, 3-4 extra pounds wouldn't kill me.
There are two things I truly appreciate about it.
1. I can use it on airplanes. I'm a bigger fellow, and when I want to use a full-size laptop, I end up resting it on my stomach, making a V that I reach into to work. With this guy, I can always use it, even when the person in front of me has put his head down to the point of wanting a neck massage.
2. LOOOONG battery life. Since the screen is smaller, and I take out the CD/DVD drive (instead, installing whatever I need right on the hard drive with a software emulator), I get 7-9 hours of solid use out of it. This gets me overseas without worrying about running out of juice. I appreciate not having to be selective when I use it. This has been the greatest benefit.
When this dies, I plan to get another subnotebook.
Heck, I'm still wearing and loving my Ironman Timex Datalink (as they discontinued all the other lines)! However, you have to use it with Win 95/98 (or buy a seperate adapter). I keep phone numbers, Frequent Flyer numbers, important info about my partner, license plate numbers, and all that stuff. It's my 3rd datalink - I've blown through the other 2.
And it's the one thing on me that says "Hey baby.. under this 250 pounds of purse jiggly muscle lives an Iron Man..."
and we've been doing automated indexing and cataloging since the 1950's. We've been doing it manually for hundreds of years.
I can't wait to see the American Library Association get involved with this one...
>And if you are in a public place using a public access terminal, you really have no reasonable right to assume that the teacher or librarian would not do so.
Unless, of course, you ask any librarian who agrees with the American Library Association's Bill of Rights at http://www.ala.org/work/freedom/lbr.html.
Librarians are not going to take the role of parents. How can you expect a librarian to parent a child when each parent has a different set of beliefs as to the raising of their child?
This is why librarians are against censorship. The parent's role is to raise their child, and if the parent cares about what a child sees, then the parent needs to watch the child.
The library's role is to provide equal access to information. The parent's/patron's job is to select the material they want to view. If parents are concerned with what their childer are exposed to, then they need to be involved in making those choices with/for their children.
A technique by which multiple individuals may work together to create new market needs through a "friction based process" wherein at least one XY-chromosome based customer interfaces with at least one XX-chromosome based customer to create a new XX or XY-based trainable customer with not only their own market needs, but a combination of market needs of the original customers.

Yes, I'd like to patent sex.
