The situation became more critical recently, and with a considerable amount of dithering, I decided to get a laptop as space is at a premium here, and I have visions of going 'wireless' at some point and wandering about the house computing once I come to terms with the security issues. (I should note that I'm not exacty an "early adapter" when it comes to things technical. I have yet to use, much less own, a "cell" phone.) But it appears that these things come with DVD/CD drives these days, and feeling self-indulgent, I said what the heck. I only have a handful of DVD's for my own use, and I think it's unlikely that I'll ever have the patience to watch an entire movie on this thing, but of course my first trial was LOTM. After hopping about a bit, I watch the "burial ground" scene, and was quite surpised. I never saw the film in the theater--only on TV. In spite of the small picture area on the laptop, it is very intimate--more so than TV, and I was much more aware of the nuances. I think it has something to do with the physical proximity: The screen is at about the same distance as you'd hold a book, and has a similar feel of immediacy.
