Just a quick comment here… I do most of my computing on my laptop, a Sony Vaio of miniscule proportions – small enough to draw notice in public places. It’s my friend and constant companion. I got this laptop second hand last year, a gift from a friend, and I think it’s now officially considered an antique at 4 years old.
One of my mottos is “Learn By Doing.” I wrote it in Sharpie above my laptop monitor several months back. It’s since worn off to the point that is now says,

Ironic, but not the full story. The laptop’s keys are all worn smooth, half the vowel keys and several consonants are blank – no discernible trace of silkscreen at all – and the space bar is as glossy as a newly waxed Corvette. This pet, my laptop, also houses a multitude of downloads from dozens upon dozens of JV giveaways. At last count, I have a quarter of a million files in my work folder alone, and about 7,000 promo emails in my inbox from all the mailing lists I’ve joined in the past 18 months. I have so many programs, MRR e-books, PLR articles and just plain digital oddities that I could host my own Internet. Unlike most people, I say a hearty “YES!” to advertising. Sell to me, baby – hit me with your best shot. I wanna see your finest moves. Yeah, I am deep in it.
The payoff is that every time I open my laptop’s file manager, my heart pounds with excitement and I can’t wait to get to work. Every day brings a new set of discoveries on a path unwinding of its own volition, and I’m using these tools of mine to help other people lead better lives with each project I undertake, in every way I can think of. I am literally following my bliss. I get to do this work. Everyone should be so lucky!
Good commerce,
