I agree. Carrying my Macbook is well worth the investment I made in purchasing it and in carrying into work each day. While it is convenient to have Internet access, I'm not sure it is absolutely necessary. What I use it for most is forwarding email to OF inbox, and then I organize it later. I'm not permitted on the network either, but I do have wireless access to the net, so it works great for me.

@ext555 - I too use my iMac while at home to remote via Citrix Secure into the training center I manage and can operate any of the 70 Windows workstations right from my Mac! John
