Actually, back when I used a portable CD player I don't think *that* had as good battery life as the Alphasmart. 700 hours. ::blinks:: you could take it on holiday and not even need to replace the batteries (or if you did, at least you've *only* got to replace the batteries instead of having to hunt for a plug and recharge.)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info!Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209550063908148888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22948666.post-68115536144815893242008-04-18T04:58:00.000+01:002008-04-18T04:58:00.000+01:00I've heard nothing but good about the Alphasmart. ...I've heard nothing but good about the Alphasmart. The Writer's Technology blog had a great article about it, and another selling point for me would be the ridiculously long battery life--700 hours (!!!) on 3 little batteries. Kinda makes me hate my laptop just thinking about it LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22948666.post-47022040322511132232008-04-17T20:37:00.000+01:002008-04-17T20:37:00.000+01:00Have you thought of an AlphaSmart?

But of course I didn't think of stage 2 which was the typing up. I'd forgotten the horror of having to do that for my dissertation way back in the day. I should have known that if I'd blanked it out it can't have been good!Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209550063908148888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22948666.post-79433207031428535472008-04-16T15:28:00.000+01:002008-04-16T15:28:00.000+01:00Ooh, my wussy little hand cramps up just thinking ...Ooh, my wussy little hand cramps up just thinking about writing longhand. Of course I would endure it during my lunch breaks if it meant more writing though!<BR/><BR/>And fab job on the wordcount, Merry! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
