methanol is made from natural gas, which is in worldwide decline. far better to get your laptop solar panels ready and use more low powered chips, even the wind-up laptop from MIT than "burn" yourself with a gas powered laptop! I'd like to see more of those wind-up machines. No harddrive true but solid state flash cards instead. Good enough for linux and nethack ;) Kinda like a big PDA with a full keyboard. In the next few years we're going to have more to worry about than air travel and gas powered anything. More like gardening! cheers (google peak oil, see the DVD End of Suburbia) peakoil.org or peakoil.com www.princeton.edu/hubbert/current-events-06-02.htm l www.princeton.edu/hubbert/current-events.html
