4. my wife still has one of these out in the garage somewhere....

She has a sentimental attachment to the beast, which has a luggage-like carrier because it's "portable!" Did get her through grad school, although just barely. She and I used to have hour long phone conversations while she waited for Excel to finish updating each data analysis. I'm NOT exaggerating, either! Then she'd enter a new formula and call back.
