Well, my Toshiba Portegé has no ethernet port... it ran SMGL about 2
years ago or so.
It has an analog modem port, though *cough*.

Oh, Wifi is so fricking common these days. Don't forget the WAF (Women
Acceptance Factor) of cabling all around the place. Since I don't live
with a women atm, but two CS students, WAF is no issue and we all use
the reliable/fast/foot-trapping wires...

Yeah! A Free Software hypocrisy flame war! ;-) (is a good argument,
though)

The only issue (IMHO) is the question if Free. We are called SMGL
instead of SML, so I suppose there is certain number of mages who care
about Freeness as defined by RMS.


Alrighty then,

Thomas.
