pjthompsonYippy skippy! My little toy arrived last night, the Alphasmart Neo—either a huge, honking PDA or a wee bit of a computing device. It's so cute and lightweight. The keyboard is about the size of a small laptop, I think, and the LCD display is quite clear and readable. It even has a primitive spellcheck and autosave so if the batteries go or you accidentally turn it off, the file doesn't go away. Definitely plain Jane, but definitely all I need to write on lunch and not have to do it longhand, and a fraction of the cost of a laptop. Which is a good thing for a person trying to get out of debt.
("What the hell is it?" as my boss says.
"An anti-debt machine," I answers.)
(Thanks, Vern!)
We'll see if my word count actually improves. Sometimes it ain't the longhand, it's the brain that's the problem.

I leave you with this irrelevant paraphrase of a very old joke:
A: May I be brutally frank?
B: If you wear black leather. But my name's not Frank.

One more outburst like that and I'm putting the seats back on!

Here's one for you that's not only filthy but politically incorrect:
Well, we are going back to the convent the same way, aren't we?
