Hey Len, how goes it?

I have a general quesiton for everyone regarding portable computers.

Why are they not more upgradeable? Other than planned obsolescence, that is.

Why can't I:

Connect my existing TFT screen to a new machine?
Install a new, more powerful processor?
Install a new modem?

Perhaps, with the growing upgradeability re: hard drives et al, these things will become possible.

Peter
