The Wallaby laptop looks/sounds really good, except
there are two problems with it:

1. You can't use your Mac when the Wallaby is away,
since the ROMs are inside the Wallaby.

2. There are only 7 in existence, as of earlier this
month.

Due to the last problem, I doubt if anyone on the
net has bought one yet. :)
