Great idea, Zaine (nice to see you around here again!). I'm answering this without reading the other responses - I've stuck with a notebook since buying my first one in 1993 (gave up my last desktop in 2002) because I split my time between a home office, library, and work office and like to have my own machine with me whereever I go. I also like the reduced footprint of the notebook (though I realize that with modern LCD monitors and mini towers this isn't really much of an argument today). I spend most of my time in my home office these days, and have wireless keyboard and full-sized mouse connected while I am here. Of course, while at home I'm free to move around the house with my notebook, so often sit in the living room with the kids and work (that's code for lurking at Donationcoder while my wife thinks that I am working on my PhD

) while they destroy the place.
PS Zaine - you've described me to a tee in describing yourself, right down to the chocolate addiction. Add caffeine fuelled and we're practically twins! OK, perhaps I flatter myself, but you get the point.
