There was a story in one of the Iraq books I read, Rise of the Vulcans or something like that where an amsemtrical warfare game sponsored by the US military was stopped when the Marine commander running the "bad guy team" used things like mopeds to move data rendering all the cool e-warfare shit we had useless. Basically the blue team guys thought they could disrupt and destroy a low tech enemy but it didn't work. Old age and treachery will over come youth and enthusiasm every time.

It is a damn shame that they didn't slice LOTR into 5 slices for the five books. It is also a damn shame that Jackson had NO idea what he was doing whne he got to the TT. Every story can be reduced to one active voice sentance e.g. Fellowship was, "The Ring tests the members of the company." The Two Towers should have been "The meek use empathy and manners to recruit the strong." (Frodo and Sam recruit Shemgol against Golum and Sam and Merry recruit the Ents.) Every time Jackson violated this is was PAINFUL. Hobbit trick Ents? Go fuck yourself. Farimir takes the Ring? Oh wait you even forgot the premise of the first movie. We need to Phantom menace the Two Towers soooooo badly.

A hinged reversible screen with a disposable/replaceable OLED (just wipe with solvent when it looses it's shine and reprint the goo on the active matrix at 300 DPI with a HP500c) screen on one side and a e-paper screen on the other. A Thunderbolt connection with 4 times as many lanes for an external desktop top of line GPU. Eight micro SD slots for a SD "raid" that I can swap out as prices trickle down. HDMI keyboard and mouse IN so I can use it for KVM on dead head boxes. One low voltage proc and one desktop proc.
