Marc Orchant links to a post by Russ Beattie where he has a moment of realization: that using only on computer is where it’s at! I completely and totally agree – that’s why I don’t think I’ll have a dedicated desktop computer ever again. I realize you can get faster desktops than laptops, but the difference isn’t worth the price of non-portability. Laptop and PDA – basically, for a computer to be more than only useful in specialized circumstances for me, it must be mobile. There are obvious exceptions to this, but those constitute the “specialized” circumstances – servers, PVRs, high-end workstations (maybe). That’s it, really.

Totally diagree. I often use the 2-3 computers in my office at the same time. When 1 is ‘thinking’ I pop over to the other. I’d be totally lost if I just had a single computer.

I can understand that. It’s very nice to have more than one machine at your disposal. What I particularly dislike, though, is having to maintain two different machines as “main use” machines. For example, if I’m stuck using a desktop at work and one at home, I end up having to set up all the software and settings twice, and no matter what, they’r never really in sync.
