With all the bantering back and forth I'm just wondering if you have 
considered non intel platforms?  I've had numerous powerbooks over 
the years (I'm on my fourth) and I keep them in book bags (when I was 
in highschool) or other bags but nothing I had until just now had any 
padding or special kind of case. I only broke one of them and that we 
because I dropped that bag (with the power book in it) over a dozen 
times that year.  Powerbooks are DURABLE, especially the older 
models( that was a 1400C that broke on me).  Apple has built this 
same toughness into the ibook today.  I've never owned any other kind 
of laptop and unless someone can find me one of those Indy notebooks 
I've seen hints of I'm not likely to.  I know a lot of people who 
love their sparc/ultrabooks (though battery life is a common 
complaint in those).  Just pointing out that there is a lot out there 
beside intel, but then again I'm a HUGE powerbook bigot.
