A little over three years ago, I made the decision to go mobile with my computing. I have been a Macuser ever since I decided to buy my first computer (having been through the DOS/win 3.11 hell, and Amiga having gone under, Macs were the the logical choice). I bought my Powerbook G4 (the last of the PowerBooks) and I never looked back toward the world of desktop computing. Laptop + Large LCD + WiFi = Happy Camper.

I did notice one thing though, that I never noticed on my desktops and that is how much heat these things produce! If you get the laptop working, putting all of its MIPS to work for you, the bottom of the thing gets really hot! Not hot enough to burn you (I don't think - but then again it never makes contact with bare skin). Now I am running virtual PC (hopefully not for long), and other applications concurrently - I keep my mac cool with ice packs and appropriate moisture absorbers so I don't FUBAR my mac.

I think despite the heating issues, I would never go back to a desktop. Now if only docking stations were still available for Macs. I have two external hard drives, a keyboard, mouse, and printer/scanner. If I had a monitor too, it would be cool to just have one connection to make, not 6.
