I'm okay with visualising the laptop (I was at the Apple store yesterday). It' been longer since I've been in a plane, though. You wouldn't happen to have standard widths of the trays, would you?
I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mostly lurking...
ita, I found this:
From an article on the Powerbook laptop computer: "Despite its admirable design and plethora of features, the new PowerBook's dimensions can be inconvenient. It swallows nearly all of a coach airline tray table, about 16.5 by 10.5 inches."
Therefore, the consensus appears to be around 16.5" wide by 9.5-10.5" deep. The exact dimensions will, understandably, vary by airline.

Oh, thanks, vw. Nearly all I can live with. It's not like I was ever using the rest of the space with a laptop open anyway.

I've used mine on airlines. It's workable until the person in front of me decides to lean their chair back, then there's not enough space for the screen.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I run into that problem with my 15-inch.

this discussion sounds vaguely nasty.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Well it didn't before.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone here use Safari? It's stopped working on my Cube. It loads itself, starts to download the home page (or whatever page it's supposed to) and locks up, while sucking down every spare CPU cycle it can.
The only thing I've changed recently: I just imported all my Mozilla bookmarks into Safari on my iBook, then imported those bookmarks into Safari on my Cube. Don't think that has anything to do with it....
OS X 10.3.7
edit: Problem fixed. I installed the latest security patch, which required a reboot. It was then that I realized that I've never rebooted my Cube (i.e. I'd only booted it the day I got it and left it on since). Pro'lly the reboot fixed it. I was trying to see how long I could go without a reboot, which is why I hadn't tried it before....

If I only had a brain...
Could somebody explain to me in words of one syllable the difference between a switch, a hub, and a router?
Ta ever so.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'll take a stab at two: A hub is just used to network a group of computers together. A router is used to connect two different networks together - essentially it is a member of both networks, and forwards data from one network to the other when appropriate. A common example might be a router that's in your network and also (one of) your ISP's network(s)....
