I’ll be gone to the World Science Fiction Convention this week and probably won’t get back to the computer to make any entries. But I’ll post on Monday (if not before) a report of the happenings.

You may have noticed that the progress bar hasn’t been moving for awhile. Well, it’s not because I haven’t been writing. This last week I’ve actually been getting back into the book. However, it’s all written on my NEC MobilePro, which I bought used several years ago for less than a hundred bucks.

MobilePros are great for getting things down quickly. It’s been a life saver at the doctor’s office or just about anywhere I’ve had to sit around waiting. The instant On feature is great since I don’t have to wait for the thing to boot up just to slap down a few sentences. And if you have another computer, you can transfer the files (in MS Pocket Word) over to your Laptop or Desktop for further editing. Pocket Word doesn’t have a word count feature. It’s basically just a text editor, which is really the only downside to the MobilePro, beside its small screen.

It’s an awesome little device, especially with the full keyboard. I’d never buy one of them new, but one can get these things used for a fairly good price (less than a hundred bucks) off eBay.
