Ohh...laptop pc's remind me of work,dont digi-cameras do the same thing then? or am I missing something? though, no doubt I'll check out the internet caff...can you buy DVD's on the beach? of what?
I think it depends on how much "quality" time is spent on it that the wife may make a comment on.
I have a rather nice Camera as it goes, but until you check the picture on a larger scree, you cannot tell if the photo is fully in focus, or what you wanted - so I find the Laptop a good tool.
I intend to buy a 9" screen Netbook for holiday this year to save lugging the big laptop around.
That way my friends and family can be sent pictures, I can talk free on Skype via webcam,
much cheaper than a phone call (free skype - that is),
and if I buy a DVD from the nice Nigerian Gentleman,
{{said in a Mandella Accent}} "My name is John and I can get you anything"
Ok - I will have the film " XYZABC" {for example} - "I will get it for you tomorrow!!" {yeah! right!}
I picked up a couple of films last year - all of acceptable quality, except one which I gave back, so all
checked & tested on the Lap-top & returned if no good!!
That my friend is why I take a Lap-Top!!
I can never understand why the wife gets upset, she is reading a book,
you are reading a laptop or electrical book. So whats the big deal?
There you go then 
Ive met these Nigerians before 
, I really would be concerned about me getting too wrapped up in the technology and "chat" stuff to the detriment of being on holiday, but I accept we're all different
I never do chat rooms - waste of life.
I use skype - it's internet Telephone technology, with a webcam - talk and see and it's all free!! Worldwide!!
Just like a video phone! and great quality!!
