On the issue of laptops, I personally found the discussion very interesting. When my Toshiba notebook went down last fall, it took three months before I could return it to the U.S., have it repaired and then find someone to hand carry it back to Egypt. Many of us make our livings by virtue of the output of our laptop and the loss of one's computer might be hard to understand to someone living in a region where authorized dealers, qualified staff and spare supplies exist.Greg Olson Alexandria, Egypt
