Is It Possible To Live With Just A Laptop?
from the unless-you've-got-insane-requirements dept
David Coursey goes off on a long explanation as to why he can never live with just a laptop - which seems ridiculous to me. Basically, he describes his requirements - almost all of which I've accomplished over the past few years on my laptop (which is, realistically, the only computer I use), and seems to insist that they're impossible. For example he talks about how he needs to be able to connect to a number of different networks in different locations. I do that all the time with my laptop. It's not that complicated. I'm not sure why Coursey feels that having multiple computers makes this any easier. His last reason is by far the silliest: he is afraid he'd forget to bring his laptop to work each day. Stupidity isn't necessarily an excuse for needing two (or more) computers. His argument reads just like an argument from someone with too much money explaining why he needs both a Porsche and a Land Rover while most people are out there getting by with their ten year old Ford Escort.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
