Never really used a laptop. The company did buy me one in.. er thinks.. er 2007 I think. Still in the bag by the TV and never been used. I guess its for people on the go. Bit like a mobile phone.. don't have one or use one of those either. Nothing beats sitting down in front of a big screen and having the keyboard just in the right place to use without having to stretch a mile to use them. I like a workstation, always have and really I've always managed to get to a proper computer daily for work ( CAD Designer ) and a land line for the telephone. And thats the way it'll be I guess till I'm out of here. Been using a computer every day now for like 20 odd years... Started on a 4 screen Intergraph beast with giant tablet. Hardly a laptop, but still way better in my opinion.
