[Not a Short]

I have a 2 spindle laptop, I don't need the floppy that often. Trust me I can count and know what 2 spindle means.

I already have a 512 MB keychain. It's USB 2.0 (aka very fast) and I like it. Unfortunately only the newest systems will boot from it. It is nice to be able to boot a pc from your keychain and update the bios and run diags at full speed (it's faster than a floppy, CD, or HD).

If power management is handled properly and Athlon 64 performs like I expect then Pentium M isn't going to tempt me. And until Centrino goes G it'll have a stigma just like Celeron.

If Athlon 64 spurs INTC to give me better options on my corp pc I'll benefit. If not I'll hold out on my existing system until I can get a Athlon 64 box even if I have to request it as a test system.
