The Great Wall story tops
the Big Kid (at age 3) not wanting to move to Puerto Rico because he didn't want to learn Japanese.
The only laptop I have had experience with was a Texas Instrument. (They only made them a few years before getting out of that market niche) It was a 486 with 12 (count 'em) big mgs of ram and 8 mgs of rom, and a built in floppy drive with ports for all kinds of peripherals. It was more powerful than the Macs we had at work at the time. I was exstatic. I took it everywhere. I did my taxes on it and wrote the middle novel of my fantasy series on it. I did not internet, because I opted for memory rather than modem. About five years later, I was thinking of buying a zip drive to extend the memory even more. The salesman snickered--no one has 486 any more, the flops were more mini than mega, nothing on the market would synch with something that slow.
Moral of the story, buy memory up front. Buy as much as you can afford. Get an external modem if it will free up space for memory. You may not think you need the memory, but they will continue to come up with new programming that will use it and YOU WILL BE READY FOR THEM.
