Plus I think Michael Robertson is a smarmy, no-talent leach that latches on to a trend and tries to suck it dry. He's total 100% hyperbolic marketing. I mean, look at that page. He actually has the gall to compare a laptop to a PDA. He's a moron. Plus he compares the laptop to an iBook, but the price he lists is actually for the 12" Powerbook. The 12" iBook starts at $1000. Much cheaper.
