When I read this the other day, I wondered how many laptop abusers there are compared to people who sit with their laptop and continue to buy things. Because this gets rid of both.

Maybe the economy has gotten bad enough recently to tip the scale too far.

And the rule of no outside food and drink makes perfect sense.
