...you take your laptop on holiday with you and find yourself reading and posting to the BOINC message boards.

If you're on holiday somewhere lovely, you could justify taking the laptop by posting a pic for us. My dream destination is Lord Howe Island. If I ever manage to go there I'll take a laptop and send you all a postcard.

Moral: don't take your laptop on holiday with you.

On one past holiday of mine in a caravan looking after 2 babies 3 & 18 months old with the nearest water supply 4 km away, the occasional hour spent on a laptop would have been the best part of the holiday.

I didn't quite make it to LHI, only as far as Cairns, (Tropical North Queensland) - my mum got remarried and I was the one giving her away. And I did manage to avoid the boards - but now I'm back and my boxes are running again :)

And if you do take your laptop as hand luggage make sure it's easy to get in and out the bag its in :)
