Another interpretation: The desktop is not relevant to me. All my computers running general purpose OSes are laptops and servers these days. Some of them are both. None of them are "desktops", in that they do not sit at or on a desk with external monitor, keyboard, and pointing device attached, ready to be used as workstations. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ]
