Pc as it is usually faster and has larger memory however you are right that the laptop takes up less space. I tend to have both of mine running at the same time one doing the internet stuff the other with a movie or music on

Laptop - so much more convenient. Takes up less space and is portable.

Years ago every one i know kept a diary yet today i never see any one still having them except as reminder dates when i was young i spend ages scribbling away my days thoughts and occurrences now instead of a diary i have a book called my brain where i jot reminders down a list of don't forget this task or event and its normally full with hundred and one things added for the days ahead maybe this is just a sign of getting older or have others switched from diary to brain over the years ?
