« Oops | Main | More Evidence That Kerry Won't Win Tennessee » August 26, 2004WowThe age of the disposable laptop PC is edging ever closer. Five years ago I bought a Compaq laptop with a tenth the hard drive capacity, half the RAM, a much slower processor, no built-in wireless networking, and no DVD capability on the CD-rom drive. Pre-tax, it cost me nearly three times what this costs. Sure, it was from a well-known brand-name maker with all that implies for product warranty and tech support and this one comes with no such badge. But once the price for a capable laptop drops below $500 ... how much does that really matter? I found the link to the inexpensive laptop via John Dvorak's blog - which I found via a link on Steven Forrest's blog, while reading a couple of interesting items over there including this one regarding the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals' recent decision in the Grokster case, and this one about the European Union's less-than-grassroots-democratic approach to imposing new regulations on the Internet.
