The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves." In matters of technology, I'm a proud member of the third group. As a perfect example, I'm writing this article from the smallest Mac OS X laptop I've ever used: It weighs just under 2.4 pounds, and is only 9 inches wide, 6.7 inches deep, and 1.3 inches thick.
