Laptop Usage Poll
OK,
So another thread about a print server got me to thinking. How many of you with a laptop and wireless have taken your computer to the crapper instead of a magazine. Even 1 time counts in this poll. Scott

Laptops are only good for two things - plane trips and mobile porn...so yes I have.

You are all nuts.
I don't take a laptop, or a magazine. Not even a newspaper. I do my business and I'm gone. Why would anyone choose to linger there? If you spend more than a minute or two on the crapper, either you have some bizarre porcelain fetish or a serious bowel dysfunction.

Ever been sitting in a public washroom and had your cell ring?
Ignore? Answer and talk quiet?
