Treeve,

You can always go for one of the embedded interfaces (Opie, PicoLinux, etc.),
and use that laptop as if it were a PDA. Opie has lightweight wordprocessor,
spreadshet, etc. I don't know much about the others. I am thinking of adding
opie spells to sourcemage when I have some free time, but that might be a
little away yet... :)
