Obama giving up email?

I doubt it, despite the security concerns. Bush famously gave up email when he took up the Presidency and apparently never looked back. While Obama will definitely not have unrestricted access to the internet or email, I suspect some type of private network will be setup for him, if it is not already in place. Perhaps he would have access to certain sites, like ESPN (he is a sports fan) or maybe even my blog (ha!). The man is too modern to give up electronic communication. He just won't be able to experience it in the same way.
Apparently he does plan on having a laptop in the Oval Office, a presidential first. And I'm betting my money its a Mac.
