...Brass tacks: Apple took a computer, chopped off the keyboard and squashed it flat. It's reasonably powerful for its size.

I have even tried on a couple of other names for size before. At French camp when I was 16, I was “Zazie.” Zazie was the outgoing goofball I never had the courage to be in high school. In China, I was Wu Hanrui: traveler, socialite, and obsessive photographer...
