seems to me we could use the great work of kevin to do a boot-in-one-second cloudbook: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CloudBook to work with these guys: http://www.zoho.com/
Of course, I'm still not so sure I want my stuff "in the cloud", but it's certainly all the rage ...
Wouldn't it be neat if your notebook was like a cellphone: just open it and it's there. Close it and it's off. And unlike a cell there's nothing to lose if you get mad at it and throw it under the bus.
