In return for giving up a little functionality (that most users don't want anyway), you get a user interface and physical configuration that doesn't SUCK. For those that _do_ need that functionality, they have three choices: 1. a user interface and physical configuration that SUCKS. 2. a Modbook (or Motion Computing tablet for 'Doze addicts) 3.
