A computer with a steering wheel. That's sound a lot nicer than the mouse that I have to deal with. If I want to move the arrow right, I'll turn the wheel right.

I saw that in a few places. We even have it at work. My dad saw it on a webpage, and they had an added caption - "We wonder what that ship navigational wheel is for. Netscape Navigator?" (it was probably their interpretation of a computer mouse).
I think this is really funny.
Imagine yourself working with your new Intel Centrino technology Laptop under your favorite tree (hehe!), and then you see this "home computer" vision.
I agree, this computer is larger than many people's homes during their time as a student...
