That thing better do a LOT more that "word process" for a million dollars.

I'm expecting candlelit dinners and walks on the beach here.

WinLux. Ha ha ha ha! I wonder if they'll sell any. "When it crashes, you hear the tinkling of fine Waterford Crystal goblets shattering above a polished marble table."

i can't possibly think of a worse way to waste $1m. Anyone thinking of buying that POS should just give me the money instead, it would go to better use.

Aw, c'mon.
We have used diamonds elsewhere but have given them purpose.”
The diamonds have a purpose, after all. Besides, it's a U.K. outfit that charges only a million dollars. A million pounds would be different.

I wonder whether a buyer would get the Bill Gates signed edition of Windows? A million bucks for Windows (I assume) . . . well, maybe they'd throw in a Zune.

For that much money, they should configure it to use any OS you want!

Is the casing of the black one marble?? That'll make it a little less portable. The video of it coming out the case was nice. It had an Egyptian flare to it.

Yep, nothing depreciates faster than computing equipment, all I could think is "why?" when I read that article. There are too many starving children in this world for one to waste that kind of money on what amounts to nothing more than a "LOOK AT ME!" item. Absolutely nauseating.

If you have to ask...

Good point.

Well, after the first owner takes all the diamonds off of it, I would probably be able to get it for $50 on eBay in less than a decade.

Macworld mag has an advertisement for a $24,000.00 diamond studded (2 carats) 18 karat white gold mouse too. You can choose scattered diamonds or flower patterns. Not near a mil, but still a bit eccentric for most! What happens when the roller ball won't work on that one? Yikes! I believe you can see it at:
