Yeah, just like all the rude idiots using cel phones these days. I am close to grabbing a cel phone out of someone's hand and slamming it to the ground and stomping on it.

| Finally laptops may get the sort of battery life that I take for granted with my Psion Netbook (which basically means that I don't have to constantly watch the battery guage, and typically forget about it completely for the whole day).

It's talking about a battery, that uses methanol fuel. Not the Cell CPU.

| I used to use Methanol in my speedway bike.
Splash it on your skin and its ice cold ...It burns with an invisible flame.
Methanol also goes by another name.
Dope.
