>The Air is a somewhat paradoxical machine in that it is extremely portable and therefore perfect for travel, which is when you often lose the data connection and therefore need more power to run VMs!

If you loose the connection you're screwed anyway, except if you work in some long term isolated part of a system.

Else, you have no access to the repo for other people's commits, no mail or IM contant to see what to work on etc, no way to check documentation/Stack Overflow/etc, no way to connect and make changes to the deployment servers, etc.

But it's not like people don't have access to the network on travels, anyway. In most hotels, coffee-houses etc you can get a wifi connection easily, and that's even in places like major African cities.

Yeah, I was referring to those long haul airplane rides more than anything else.
