2. I literally hit the floor and the laptop flew out of my hands and hit the
floor too.

I screamed as I fell and not one of my kids even bothered to see what the hell was going on. I couldn't believe it.

4. My shin hurts like hell!!! My laptop has already had one side that holds
the screen up broken so you have to be careful. I broke it even more but it still works so we are both OK.

:)

It has been a couple hours so I'm doing much better now then I was right after it happened. It was one of those times where you are completely blindsided and unable to protect yourself.

But that is why they call it a laptop and not a handheld. :)

6. The wireless laptops are just too enticing to not wander with them.
I feel like the little dancing guy in the commercial who is now free.:evilgrin:

8. I'm still tethered...to a desktop PC...

...but I'm beginning to think perhaps my next PC ought to be a wireless laptop. It'd sure free up some space around here.

9. I can stream AAR and take it with me around the house while doing
the crappy housework or even outside stuff. I can have it on DU and hit refresh every so often to see if anything new is going on.

It is really convenient.

I love it.

I just need to make sure I keep the dishwasher closed.
