Re: Why the MacBook Air is "misunderstood"

I am buying it as a 'work toy' - a computer and my trusty usb to serial dongle that I can bring into a colo and console servers / routers with.

the size / weight are a huge plus for me - this laptop is good for my frequent travel both air and train.. I connect via bluetooth through a second phone instead of aircard now.. so the ports are not an issue.

my bag will contain the macbook air, usb to serial dongle + assorted console cables, my old airport express, external 320gb WD passport drive ( very optional ), ethernet dongle, install DVD ( ugh ), power brick + extension cable .
edit: add noise cancelation headphones to the bag, hope the plug fits! =)

I am also paying for this, not the company..

Do you use ZTerm with the dongle?

I can't think of anything else that would work on a serial port. Is there anything else? I used it all the time back in my modem days, and was pretty impressed when it got ported to OS X a while ago.
