I can'...How is the battery life on those, Vikk?<br /><br />I can't write in public because everywhere I go, they have music playing over the speakers and I find it very distracting. My only hope is the library, but only if I'm using a real notebook (paper), since I have no laptop.Nighfalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745824744507928211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964532.post-59080784735838706862010-01-18T06:37:19.916-08:002010-01-18T06:37:19.916-08:00Christine, Good idea on the mini-shampoo but I bet...Christine, Good idea on the mini-shampoo but I bet my boys would balk, too. Great news on your wordcount. That's fantastic! <br /><br />No one sees your writing so it's not that difficult to write in open places. I got a little Acer Aspire 100 about two years ago and use that when I travel or need to take one with me. It's really light. I also have a regular-sized keyboard that goes with it. (A friend of mine has one of those flat ones that roll up and are good for traveling.) I actually love the Acer and had to use it for about 5 months when I first got it because my old laptop was down. <br /><br />My main laptop is a Sony Vaio and I have really enjoyed it. In fact, I'm using it now. Several of my friends use the Vaio and most have bought them online, although I did pick mine up at a store. I love laptops. I do have a regular desk computer, too. <br /><br />I keep my Acer in the bedroom to use at night or in the early morning hours. I can also use the Sony the same way or even in the sunroom. So the portability even around the house is nice to have now and then, especially in the spring. <br /><br />The majority of my writing the last two years has been on the Sony. For large laptops, Sonys are lightweight and that's what I like.vikk simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11403016433753838714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964532.post-66124599326288739892010-01-18T06:30:39.139-08:002010-01-18T06:30:39.139-08:00Corra, thanks so much for the award.

I'm debating purchasing one.Nighfalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745824744507928211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964532.post-33305488309964444602010-01-17T18:53:41.253-08:002010-01-17T18:53:41.253-08:00I think I'm back on target with 9,233.
