I am very excited!  A good friend just showed me a teeny tiny notebook computer (9″ screen,) and told me about its slightly larger brother (10″ screen.)  It seems to do everything that my regular size notebook does and may even be faster.  The price is under $500, and I am hooked.  I hope to put Dragon Naturally Speaking on it and be able to speak my patient notes into it.  The battery is touted to last 7.5 hours and the speakers are reviewed as awesome.  Ready, set, go!
