Undo Redo: have you ever walked around with your MacBook while video-chatting? It's awesome when you're far away from your interlocutor. Our iMac get twisted and tilted around when we Skype with family. The kids hold up the hamster, and I've held up our new dog in front of the iMac's camera. Imagine how much easier this would be if you could just walk around with an iPad that had a built-in camera!

I've been waiting for a true sub-PowerBook for more than 10 years. The 11-inch MacBook Air finally delivers on all counts! It beats the hell out of both my PowerBook 2400c and my 12-inch PowerBook G4 -- no contest whatsoever.
