Behold the mighty furry that is my laptop.  Yes that's right its 7.72 pounds and almost 6 years old.

It has been formatted twice and generates so much heat when running it causes its frame to expand.

However it has never let me down rain shine no matter what the data or project it can handle it.

Now behold the compact fury that is my pda.  not nearly as heavy at only 1 third of a pound. Has a longer battery life and in a little while I will upgrade the cf hd to a 6gig making it just that much superior to the tank above.  however this little puppy only defeats it in size, processing power, video ram, wireless ability, and Bluetooth connectivity.  it will never be able to read a 3.5 inch disc the new standard in out dated portable storage.
