Your Gear:*

  * Your own Laptop of any brand. The model should not be more than
    two-years-old. Must support a resolution of 1280 pixels or higher.
    These two factors because your laptop should be able to run the
    latest versions of modern browsers. Candidates with an Apple laptop
    will have a definite advantage.
  * Roaming internet datacard. Those with a broadband connection preferred.

Ahm, you forget the 3G, WiFi and, or WiMAX (4G) connectivity ;)

I don't think, people using *Laptops *can be a productive as on a good 
modern PC or Workstation.

OTOH, designing and, or thinking in terms of design is entirely a 
different process compared with coding the same ideas in to a clean 
[X]*HTML + CSS pages.

thanks for writing in balwinder.
the way i work, in the new workflow a lot of tasks have to be done on-site:
at clients' offices, or during a design-sprint where all involved get together
somewhere and don't budge till it's done. often we could be travelling
outstation too. or sometimes, just feel like working from home or a cafe
or a lounge. therefore, a laptop with some roaming connection is required.

I'm not sure, whether you are clear enough or not, but my idea was -- we 
should not confuse amateur or enthusiast web designers and developers; 
this can devastatingly ruin their career, learning and, or development.

How many singers do we know who compose their own songs? If I'm not 
wrong, I can count them on tips though we are 7 billion now.

IMHO, designing a website is analogous to composing a song, which *only* 
a seasoned lyricist can do better, whereas presenting a website using 
HTML + CSS and needful scripting is correlative to singing a song, which 
*any* trained (yes, trained and necessarily not seasoned) singer can 
sing well. Moreover, the content of a website can (or shall definitely) 
play the roll of background or ambient music.

thanks Balwinder for the analogy. You're right.
to take it further, i need 'backup vocalists' of HTML+CSS
and/or cover-singer artists.
is there a specific job-designation that fits the profile?
