I always thought they would be called "WhiffleBooks".  And they've be  
lighter, too since the case would only be half the metal of a  
standard laptop case.  Imagine your Aluminum powerbook covered in the  
speaker grills instead of smooth metal.  You'd be able to spot  
Whifflebook users a mile away by the small red dots on their forearms!

Oh well. So much for that idea.
