I had this shower thought earlier and I actually wanted to post it in that community. The name I came up with was SmartWalkman, but later I realized that Walkman is Sony specific, so I doubt other companies would’ve gone for that name, but I didn’t want to let this shower thought slip so here I am now asking you guys.

    Haha yeah… I couldn’t afford them either. Also the weird fancy Sony-VAIO things only in Japan.

    I did eventually get a Panasonic CF-M34 though. It was a netbook before netbooks were a thing – and you could use it to hammer in a nail, then boil it it in a pot of water to clean it. Without turning it off. Then set it gently on a table, and blow the table up with dynamite – although this apparently caused a restart (someone tried it). That thing was awesome. You still spot it in movies sometimes.

      Ohhh, the Toughbooks. Yeah those things were ridiculous. I just bought a Libretto, years later, and have had the most aggravating time trying to get any data on or off of it, thanks to the gulf in interfaces.
