My daughter disagrees. She thinks the end scene is horrid and renders it NOT all age appropriate.

Nice comprehensive list, thank you. I was just looking for some cross platform options and a review on those available for the new-to-me mac OS.

As a huge Ubuntu fan, I appreciate this info. I've been drooling over the tiny notebooks, and this just might push me over the edge to buying one!

Thanks!

Re: Do you find the seclusion of working at home changes your personality?

This must depend on HOW the working-at-a-home-office is set up. For me (working from my office since 1999 and running my own business from there since 2000), it's not a problem.

I spend quite a bit of my time on the phone with clients and have one "onsite" client that I visit physically once a month. I don't find myself feeling lonely or isolated at all. Of course, having three kids at home may impact that.

There are days when I think if I have any more "interaction" with people (*by phone or im or twitter*), I'll scream.

Most days, it's a good balance and I do feel relatively well-balanced with the home office. I'd never be able to go back to the communal office where the interruptions are constant and projects are bumped for other projects on a regular basis. I like determining the project priorities for my client work and blocking off time to get them completed.

I like being in control of my own workday. I like working at home... most days.
