Nice review. I confess this was one of the reasons, along with the biitch in the Excursion on 405 who tried to run me over, which made me give up commuting on my bike. I have to carry a company bought laptop, cell-phone, pager wherever I go. Ain't technology just fracking great. Seriously, I think I'll get one of these for the summer commute. Thanks EBass. Did I mention that I was related to Nostradamus.

It's not the cost of the laptop dude. The Private Sector for Dummies...

You are a teacher right. Well It's the data and the other proprietary stuff that maybe on the laptop that I would worried about... Although I back up the proprietary stuff on a server there are times when there is a gap between what is on my computer and the backup. Also when you work in large organization it's the time to get back up and running. It can take weeks to get a replacement laptop sometimes. Also there are software tools that have been loaded and configured which may not be in the backup... In the dog eat dog world of cut throat competition of the real world time is money and opportunities lost.....

The Education industry gets an F then.

I wonder why your kids (customers) are getting their colletive asses kicked by the Japanese, Indians, Koreians, hell most of the industrialized world on standardized test scorres in math and science. Yes I agree your job is important but your are failing at it . And don't give that we don't get paid enough. You work 9 months out of the year for chris's sake.

My daughter has only done well in math and science, because she has an engineer as a tutor (myself). Her SAT scores compared to her peers proved it...

My sisters are both teachers. One has her Phd in Education. My brother is a VP of Engineering of a small Radar company. He agrees with me. My sisters whine they have no clue what the real world of budgets, mergers, outsorurcing is like. Perhaps we need to outsource teachers next....

Facts and Data Questins?

How much money per captia are we spending on education? relative to other countries who are kicking our ass?

How many Computer Scientists and Engineers are we graduatinng? How many kids are prepared for the engineering curriclulim at U.S. engineering schools? How many U.S. born Phds are we producing?

Do you want to continue with this game. By all measures the Education system in this country is failing....

Reality for Teachers and Red Staters.

Send me an email via MO and I will respond back with my corporate email account.

Fact 1. I work with engineers from China, Canada, and India. All educated in their own countries not in the U.S. Most have better english skills than their U.S. counterparts. Something which is taught at the K-12 level.

Fact 2. No longer do these folks have to come to the U.S. for a quality education. In fact some say Cal Tech and MIT are now inferior to IIT India Institute of Technology See 60 minutes web site.

Fact 3. American students have lower test scores in Math and Science than their peers.

Fact 4. The U.S. advantage of an open and free market is no longer solely U.S. India and China have a very robust free market systems now. Capital flows in some cases even faster than in the U.S.

Fact 5. The U.S. can no longer claim the monopoly on inovation or money spent on R&D.

You're the rat

You are such a hypocrite. I was defending the reason why people would buy such a backpack for their laptops. Maybe I should refresh your memory of you kiss ass post which says you would be interested in the tool. You are such a bully. Anytime you can step in and look like you are agreeing with someone yet what your are really doing in sharing your love for me with others....

" Never new engineering was a job that you could be onthe Internet 24/7"

First it's knew not new. How in the heck do you think we communicate with other engineers in Moscow, Japan, India by mail???? Hey come to Seattle and I will give you a tour. Let me know when you are here??? I show my sheepskin, office, plant etc....
