Re: No Macs for me, thank you very much!
It seems to me that the tablets, smartphones, and such are an evolution into a niche that the so-called portable PC laptops were once dominant. I used to lug my laptop around when traveling usually for work e-mail access, but found I like putting my web access device into my pocket (ipod). Certainly laptops can be necessary at times, especially when presenting at conferences or meetings, but for strictly web access needs, the smartphones, and tablets/ipods certainly, imho, are much more convenient.

Re: No Macs for me, thank you very much!
My first experience with "portability" was a typewriter with a word processor, of sorts, built in. No internet connectivity and a floppy drive (was a a heavy bugger) but great for traveling and typing up papers that could be saved on floppy for later.
