In my mind, a "True Blue" Mac is one with an 11 square inch footprint.
Portability, I've found, is one of the most desireable features of a machine
(second only to the user interface). I see my classmates at WPI lugging 80-90
lbs of harware in and out of their dorms during breaks, and I'm glad that I
can put my SE in it's carrying case and tote off all 25 lbs of it in about 5
minutes. I'm glad that Apple is introducing an /30 upgrade, as I will be able
to retain that feature of portability.
