Portable writing alternatives

[andrewmck]

Lately, I've been finding myself away from home and with the time to write. I don't have a laptop, so that sort of portability is out for me and I'm looking at other alternatives.

Probably the most obvious choice is GoogleDocs (http://docs.google.com), or a similar web-based word processor. My question is - is anyone else out there using GoogleDocs, or another web-based processor? And, how successful (or unsuccessful) has that been for you?

I can't help re web-based word processors, but if you're after a cheap very portable laptop, quite a few people are singing praises to the Asus Eee mini-notebook PC lately. $500. Keyboard's very small so mightn't suit if you're a touch typist, but is apparently OK for two-finger typing.

Thanks, Chris. Not sure if the small size would suit me. I can't seem to get used to a standard laptop keyboard, let alone one of those little Asus ones!
