Taking it around with me, would be useful, occasionally, but main purpose of it
being laptop, is for other questions of convenience. I also thought that a good

the automatic package.

ALOT? HOW much? And what other rsources? That is what I was wanting to know. (In
Israel [where I live], prices are ANYWAY more expensive, but it seemed easier

I also would love to know all these differences. I need to catch up with what I
wasn't paying much attention to for the past few years. If someone would give me
a sumary!
