I totally know what you mean - I really want a laptop! It would make my papercrafting life so much easier!
No more running back and forth from the family room (where I papercraft) to the computer (on the opposite end of the house) just to see how a fold/join worked.
Hey, you know, they aren't really that expensive anymore. You can get one of those neat little Acer 8.9" Netbooks (1GB RAM/120GB HDD) for ~AU$600 ...
... Hmmm
There's an idea!
