i don't think so, cuase my powerbook would have been much nicer with the networking, then agian, its probably the way i think. instead of say haveing everything central to the main computer, or the laptop or even a pda, i take /*atleast i think its suns*/ aproach to things and everything is central to my network, if it can't access my network, its useless to me, when i use a system in my room like the powerbook, i feel as though im disconented from it all, and can't do much/*well, it is kinda true*/
