OK, we’ve known each other long enough that we can be honest, even if it means getting a little personal.

A notebook computer and a wireless network is a match made in Heaven. Complete freedom to use the technological miracle of computing wherever you’d like. On the couch. At the dinner table. And like so many bad fortune cookie jokes end: in bed.

Anywhere in the house that the wireless signal can you reach, you can compute. However, have you crossed the line? You know, that line.

You were writing that excellent blog post, or playing an online multiplayer game, or chatting with a long-lost relative on IM, and then it hits. You gotta go. You have a decision to make:

1) Break this once-in-a-lifetime inspired train of thought to do something you do several times a day, everyday OR
2) Follow your dreams and possibly risk kidney/colon failure

Well, the beauty of the laptop is that you don’t have to choose. There’s a reason it’s called a laptop! Hopefully, your computer doesn’t run too hot.

I’m not ashamed to admit it. Cool Mum has used the comp in the john. Her excuse is that we don’t have any magazines. OK, maybe I have a few times, too. I figure, if I’m gonna be stuck there for a while, I might as well put that time to good use.

So, please ‘fess up, Cool Readers.

Have you gone wee while on the www?
Do you make sure to flush after every tweet?
Do YouToot with YouTube?
Have you ever posted from the potty?
Do you Skype while answering nature’s call? (i sure hope not)

I resisted every urge to make a “streaming media” media joke there. Oops, I guess I just did. Just remember, you can’t spell http without the TP!
