A Laptop Comes Preloaded With the Web
Acer will soon be selling laptops "preloaed" with 40 gigabytes of data, meant to be an abridged version of the Web. Webaroo, the company responsible for creating this snapshot says that "there are lots of times when Internet access is inconvenient."

Oh yea, that makes sense. It's getting so tough these days to get connected to the internet, so give me a preselected, non-interactive alternative clogging up hard-drive space. Now if you want to give me answers to the "really inconvenient" problems like how to pay my bills without bothering to go to work, then maybe we can talk.
