...what about people who aren't so blessed as to work for the best darn company in the world? Laptops constitute the fastest-growing sector of the computer market, and last year Big Blue undertook the most extensive consumer-research campaign in ThinkPad's six-year history to try to figure out who's buying them. It discovered a new class of information worker: mobile folks who buy their own gear. These consumers work at small start-ups. They're college students.

Probably out of a lot of financial aid, young lady." And if my kindergarten teacher-esque conscience doesn't force my checkbook open, I'm sure that peer pressure will...
