This part: "Laptops displaced desktops?! You are deluded."

I _like_ desktops more than laptops, as I argue here: http://jseliger.com/2008/12/26/computer-post-desktop-or-lapt... , but note the link to the Ars Technica article: global laptop shipments as measured both by number and by dollars have overtaken laptop sales. And that was in Dec. 2008: the trend has only accelerated since. That's about as good a definition for laptop sales having overtaken desktops as I can imagine.

Obviously, I was talking FOR DEVELOPMENT, as was talking pg. Of course that for general consumers latops are more popular, as they should be considering their main use: communication tools.

As I said, we too have laptops we use for browsing from the couch. We just don't write serious code on them
