I have a 17 inch dell laptop, and yes I do use it on my lap, and no I am not a huge fat guy, I am however tall. It's actually very comfortable to use, more so than my wife's 14 inch dell. So yes I would use a 20 inch laptop.
As more and more people are using phones with SMS/Text messaging capability, their spelling and punctuation will only get worse. Not to mention all the cryptic acronyms. My spelling and grammar are not the greatest, but I married an English major to compensate.
As a new fairly new linux user (baring an experiment with a dual boot madrake box 4 years ago) I have to say that I have found Fedora Core fairly quick to pick up, easier for me to get going on than when I was trying on RH 9.
I have not had the opportunity to do any formal performance analysis, but given that the box is a P3 500 w/ 384mb of ram, the performance has been very good.
The difficulty was trying to get everything figured out as to how to work with the libmod_mono module, and exactly what was going on with XSP, mod-mono-server.exe, and mod_mono. The newest releases of these items, available at go-mono.com helped out a lot.

"Since it has no code in it, you can load the HelloWorld.xaml file directly into the Longhorn version of Microsoft Internet Explorer, and you'll see something that looks like a Web page. You can also compile HelloWorld.xaml using a program currently called MSBuild. You'll need a couple other short files (not shown here) for this compilation. A file with the extension PROJ or MSPROJ provides some information about the program and lists all the required source files (XAML and otherwise). Another short XAML file is also required to indicate the XAML page that is first displayed when the program is executed. Run the Hello World executable and you see something that looks like a Windows program. Figure 2 shows both versions."
I am still a realtively new coder, with only around 4 years under my belt all in Microsoft shops, and even newer to the linux world about 3 months.
When I first heard of the Mono project here on/. I was excited at the possibility of using the development tools and environment that I am familiar with and be able to deploy my code to Linux. The most exciting thing to me was the possibility of running ASP.NET on Apache. In the last 2 weeks I have really began to experiment with this particular aspect and was able to copy my compiled C# ASP.NET web app from my windows box to my Fedora Core box and everything ran with no problems.
I welcome further the possibility to continue to use the development environment I know while being able to deploy my code across windows and linux platforms. (I am not a fan of Java and say what you wish about C#, but I find it to be a very nice language.)
I recently joined netflix after finding out that the version of The Piano Teacher we had rented from Hollywood video had been edited. I don't think that any place that rents video's should only make available to it's customers the versions of films that have been edited like this.
I think Walmart will fall into this catagor just like Hollywood Video / Blockbuster.
My company uses M$ SQL Server for our DB (yes we are a microsoft shop )
The server can be configured to send email using Outlook or any MAPI client, or can be configured to use SQL MAIL, which expose extended stored procedures such as xp_Sendmail. But no one looked into it so someone wrote their own sp_Sendmail, that connects to CDO using objects in the stored proc.
I think the failure to understand the capabilities of your tools and configure them is the main reason that people reinvent the wheel.
(Outside of general the general "that's good but this way is better" pride we all have.)
I have just started reading this book, but so far I have found it to be very interesting as this is my first venture into the world of patterns. I found his discussion of "Business Ill-logic" very appropriate to most of the systems I have worked on.

One step closer to my TIE Fighter.

I wish the mono team the best of luck.
