For that stuff it's ok, those are more "look-up" tasks, information gathering. WRT email I prefer a real reader over a web based portal any time. Faster, less cluttered, no ads, no fluff. > ...

That would raise a huge red flag should I ever be audited by some customers of some of my clients.

But with that in mind, these days most engineers probably use several machines anyway -- they're awfully cheap these days; if you can afford any 5-digit piece of software you can certainly afford a 3-digit PC to run it on. Windows does have some good engineering packages, certainly, like Microwave Office and Agilent's Genesys. ---Joel

No, no, you're looking at it all wrong! -- You need to learn from BP and associates about the liability shell game -- "Well, Mr. Lawyer, GOOGLE told me they were providing secure transport and storage of my documents, so it's certainly not MY fault that the design I did for the 100GHz x86-compatible CPU that we can build for $10 is now being cranked out by a dozen Chinese companies and we haven't even officially announced it yet..." :-)
