Fair enough. I never travel, so the plane argument isn't really applicable. I also have linux running on this thing now so, i think that objection will go away soon. And yes, the VPS/month is a cost, but I pay that anyway regardless the platform. I like having my contexts preserved and constant on a machine whose costs I can expense for tax purposes.
