Well, the wife has a chromebook, and the kid is moved out on her own and pretty much only uses a phone anyway, so it's a pretty nice world, to be honest :)

At some point I'm tempted to get a fat server going so I can do my dev work remotely to it using a super light weight / long battery life laptop, but that's a complication too far at the moment.

A setup like that would be quite cool -- if it weren't for one problem: All the "super light weight / long battery life" laptops have tiny (= max 13-14 inch) screens; there don't seem to be any 16(or more!)-inch ones. OK, just the bigger screen and housing means a machine like that couldn't be as super light weight as a smaller one, but they could still be quite light weight...

Only machines like that don't seem to exist. Or does anybody know of some?
