But ...they DO sit on top of your lap!

A gathering of local bloggers is a special time to learn and share. Today, at a downtown meet up of some online buddies, I was reminded that laptops are no longer called that.

For some reason they now are called "notebooks." ??

I don't have a lapto..er, I mean, notebook and am quite happy with my 4-year old PC but I remember when they went by the previous - and very obvious - name.

Were there incidents of heat generated causing laps to catch fire? Did lawyers get involved? A notebook brings to mind a stubby pencil and a yellow pad with the wide line spacing. A friendly image and non-threatening. Well, reporters carry notebooks too.

Joan posted pictures she took this morning of us sipping African coffee at Kudu and I wanted to add one that included her. Most photographers remain behind the camera and we miss seeing their face. Here's L-R: Xark, Braintube and Walk This Way.

Pull the photo up on your lapbook.
