Occasionally in the morning we'll wake up and MB will open the laptop and surf the web some. This was one of the ideas behind getting that machine. She still uses OS 9 for working (thanks for nothing quark,) but this gives her a little time in OS X. And a little aimless surfing time which is what you need to really get comfortable on the web.

I think news.google.com convinced her that this all might turn out to be useful. I'll bet that's the case for a lot of people. Makes reading any one newspaper rather silly.

Anyway, when this happens I'm at a bit of a loss for what to do. Make the coffee. Clean up any leftover dishes. Maybe make the bed. I've gotten more conscientious about such things in my new homemaker phase. But still, it's hard for me not to check right in first thing.

Luckily I can fall back on my sidekick. I can't wait until the power of my laptop is the size of this phone. Shouldn't be too many years. Three? Keyboard and display (input and output) are going to become the real issues. How do we shrink these things?
