You're right; that's really the fallacy of his entire argument. In fact, it's tautological. He says...

I know of no executive with any real use for PCs who can go on a trip carrying only a PDA.

Well, yeah! If you have a
real use for a PC, then you need a PC. Since a PDA isn't a PC, then by the conditions you set, the PDA must fail to meet your needs. Of course, what never occurs to him is what executives with a real use for a PDA should use. I guess that was just a bit too hard to figure out. What a numnuts!
So, in the end, the real enlightenment he offers is that a PDA is not a laptop. I'm sure glad he clarified that for me, because I hadn't noticed. In the meantime, I'll get on being productive with my PPC and he can get on with not understanding what they are for.
