the stork arrived with a slightly heavier baby, against some of my earlier pronouncements. after some serious thinking over the holidays, it occured to me that the need for extreme mobility (less than 3lbs) has diminished now that i’m out of school. and what i really wanted was a system that i could use to do more visual/design work, with photos, with a new graphics tablet. but i didn’t want to be glued to a desk.
fingerprint reader!? cooool.
i know, it’s weird. i don’t have to log in with a password, i just swipe my finger.
So what did you do with the X23?
nothing yet. matthew has first dibs.
