VACATION!!!!

Leave the freakin laptop, why are you even asking? ;P Do you think a lumberjack goes on holiday with his axe? Or a garbage man goes on vacation with his work gloves?
Or a hooker goes... oh wait, never mind. :) ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)! SELECT * FROM User WHERE Clue > 0 0 rows returned Save an Orange - Use the VCF!

I bet a movie producer would not want to watch a movie on vacation. A mechanic and a car are not the same as a programmer and a laptop. A mechanic and a car diagnosis machine or a mechanic and his wrenches might be a better analogy. The idea of a vacation is to get away from what you normally do for a rest.

> Not much of a mechanic then is he? Huh? It's called a healthy dose of paranoia. A good mechanic won't blindly trust a car not to encounter mechanical failures during a trip where you drive a few thousand miles in hot summer weather and carrying a heavy load in the trunk/trailer/whatever. A good mechanic would rather pack a few basic tools and hope not to have to use them, than have to call an expensive tow truck to ruin a vacation when a quick and simple fix he could've done himself would've sufficed, had he just brought those few basic tools.

Or use GPS - the "new-fangled" :) ones provide a great listing of hotels, nearby restaurants, theaters, etc in their "entertainment" section. Plus directions to get to the locations, obviously! I was ambivalent when my husband decided to purchase ours, but quickly became converted to a true-believer in their usefullness. So leave the laptop, and get a GPS! blueSprite:rose:
But that'll take all the fun out of getting lost! :-D Jeremy Falcon

I'm not sure how it relates to the gist of my post; the programmer going on vacation isn't going to need to fix his software to get from point a to point b. I guess it's true what they say that car analogies for computers never really fit.
