I've never seen anything like it, outside of the cow from Me, Myself, and Irene.

Wow... just wow. That'd be useful in case I ever get attacked by tigers.

I like when they said...

We think the tiger chewed the keys to get to the Dorito crumbs.

LOL

I have wanted a Toughbook for years, the tests they do on them are insane. This one is sweet! Wish they weren't so pricey.

The sad part about the TB is that it's really only great for specialized work. Carrying one around all the time is a pain, but if I had a real reason to I supposed I'd have no other choice (none of the other machines I've see were as good).

I got to try out the UMPC they make, too big for me but I could a lot of people really making good use of it.

Lol Nov... that is another reason I can't have one. After work I'd just throw the thing out the window into the parking lot instead of lugging it to the car, but it'd probably get jacked by the time I got to it.
