Very good!

I've said many times (and maybe wrote in my book -- I forget!) that 
mobile computing (clay tablets, abacus, quipu, etc.) came before 
non-mobile computing, so we should be calling mobile computers just 
regular computers, and we should be calling regular computers non-mobile 
computers. :)
