Portable Ain't Just for Potties Anymore

King James I is known to have had the first version of a "portable potty." The first campers with what resembled a kitchen to be used away from home rolled off the line in the early 1900's. Thus, it would only make sense that an entire office should fit in a cracker box by 2007.

Even though we're huge Mac worshippers, the Nokia N800 piqued our interest simply because of its size. If you're a PC-user and frequent traveler, it might be worth a look.

It's hard to imagine the days when we relied on a microwave-sized contraption that had a cord the size of DSL cable to write memos and crunch numbers. And all this "thinking" occurred in a room the size of a dance hall. Heck, we're such old geeks that we remember computer class: "If F26 = ALL, then goto F14. END."

Okay, we're not that old, we're pretty hip, and we embrace technology as a plan to stay that way. But that's what makes these lightening-speed changes to technology both exhilarating and scary at the same time. In this day and age, technology moves so fast that the young and hip today will be old and broken hipped by the end of the week. Today, we travel with a notebook-sized computer that houses an entire office circa 1984. We get ticked off if our hotel room doesn't have quick wireless internet service. And we just hope we're able to master whatever pocket-sized gadget we receive for Christmas 2047 from our grandkids with the ease in adaptability we rely on today. And we hope our "portable potty" in that same year doesn't mean diapers.
