SunRays Rock! Kool-Aid anyone?

While not specifically data related, I gotta make noise about our SunRay product.
I've had a SunRay on my desk for some time now, and it's been working like a charm. In fact, it's only gotten better over time. It's running JDS, it's small and quiet, and has been rock-solid, in terms of reliability and performance. What more could I ask for?
Well, how about a SunRay at home?
My wish was granted! A little while back, I got a SunRay at home, and it JUST WORKS. Check this out: At the end of the day with my desktop apps running on my SunRay, I pull out my badge or lock my screen. I go home, put my badge back in my SunRay at home or unlock my screen, and PRESTO, there's my desktop right where I left it at the office! Performance at home over my cable modem is not an issue.
Does this sound like I've drank the SunRay Kool-Aid? You bet, and I'm going back for seconds! (or is it thirds?) I just ordered a SunRay laptop from Tadpole, with wireless support. How slick will it be to walk into a conference room to give a presentation, pop in my badge, up comes my desktop on my laptop, and away I go. Yea, there will still be times I need disconnected compute cycles, so my old laptop (which is running Solaris 10 happily, by the way ) won't be put out to pasture just yet. However, I hear the airlines have been given the goahead to have wireless internet connections, so SunRays at 40,000 feet, here we come!
