I'm not trying to sell you on the EEE but check it out. The screen is only 7" and it weighs < 2 lbs. The HDD is compact flash (it only has an 8 GB capacity). I use a Blackberry and I *hate* how long it takes me to peck out e-mails using the letters on it. I guess I could buy a tiny keyboard for it but I like bigger screens. It's something to consider. Of course, if you're in the middle of nowhere then the EEE won't let you send out an e-mail because you'd need a WiFi hotspot to connect. The computer comes pre-loaded with all the basic apps you'd need.

That's the last I'm going to try to convince you of the product because I don't want to be responsible for guiding you wrong if this doesn't fit what you really need.
It definitely looks nice...if my sales job was different, it would be a perfect fit. I am walking through industrial places where I can't set down a laptop (it's difficult writing on a pad of paper, even)...plus I'm carrying products like PLC's and contactors and product literature...so I simply need to stream-line.

BTW-
that Fuji finepix you recommended...is better than any camera I've come across. When I ask people to take pics of me and my family, I regularly get comments about the resolution and how well it takes pics in the dark without a flash. I've even used it to make youtube videos...and the video quality is excellent.
