Aside from buckling springs, is there anything (technology) that you like?

I named two of my kids after scripting languages...so, yes, I have more than a passing interest in technology.   :)

My daughter's middle name is Perl.  And my youngest son's middle name is Python.

BTW, I LOVE the iPhone!

I figured someone would've mentioned the ModBook (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/ModBook) by now.  OWC has been offering this system for well over a year now.

I mentioned it in my blog a few months ago, but I wouldn't buy one unless Apple themselves made it. The thing is that OS X doesn't yet support touchinterfaces, so they add a piece of software to emulate it. Doesn't sound too appealing to me.
