How odd! Twice recently I have been accosted by complete strangers in cafés asking about my laptop. It's a PowerBook G4 12", no longer made, which suggests that Apple are missing something. I bought it for its compactness, the quality these strangers admire. I first had one for my job at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, which I had to hand back when I finished there, sobought one of my own.
It is lamentable that it is my computer that attracts attention, not me, and that only from suited men. No mysteriously-veiled beautiful woman whispers to a friend, 'look at the handsome man with the PowerBook G4 12", isn't he oddly compelling?'
