Frank,

Hear Hear! You'll only need something modern if you're doing something like 
video on the road. Anything else can be done on virtually anything.

My son's MacBook Air is coming this week and he can't wait. Yes I know that 
the next MB Air's are due out next month, but this new one was steal. Should 
last him through his Maths degree.

Best wishes,
