Wonderful idea.  Let's take a *PORTABLE* computer and "fix it" by  
making it non-portable.

The machine is fine for some uses, but if you need a keyboard, look  
elsewhere.

He's probably the same guy a friend of mine's mother's boyfriend read  
about who repairs ships for the US Navy using a soldering iron and a  
pair of pliers.

Rant: Why do people always say "commercially published" as if it means  
something?  A tabloid article saying Britney Spears had George Bush's  
alien baby written on a knapkin is "commercially published", so what?
