A Victory for Extravagence



I skim the NY Times headlines most days and tend to read a little of this and that, but today I found something I just had to share. It is a laptop with a 17" screen (the largest you can get) that has an additional 10.6" pop-out screen. It also has a built-in stylus pad, which I would love to have and think every laptop should have. It is described as being for the photographer/graphic artist crowd (you mean a computer other than a Mac will run photoshop...no way!), so I guess we need one and had better just buy it because it will dramatically increase our productivity. :)

Anyway, at $4,000+ it seemed just a hair out of our current budget, but since the ecomony is booming and and everyone else has tons of cash to burn I bet they will sell like hot cakes or at least they might sell two or three. I can think of plenty of people who'd pony up for them, such as Bill Gates and Obama and...well, I guess they'll only sell two. Way to go Lenovo! That's what I call some audacious hope.
