There is portable...and there is PORTABLE

Though I have been using laptops since 1993 -- my first was a PowerBook 160 -- I have to say that up until recently I have never been fond of the form.  Until now...until AppleKory.

My typical laptop experience before now? Sweaty-lap systems that make too much noise, suffer from wobbly construction, are typically too heavy, and that do nothing to inspire use beyond what is absolutely necessary.  Not computers I would ever think to spend an evening with on the couch...or in bed prior to lights-out.

So tonight I am typing this blog entry from -- you guessed it -- my bed, prior to lights out (actually the lights ARE out now...my Missus has gone to sleep and I sit here in the dark, unable just yet to put AppleKory away and settle in).  No sweaty lap, no sound other than the comforting sound of my wife steadily breathing to my left (and, of course, the sound of my fingers hitting the keys), and it all feels...right.
