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?

we use them a lot for all our projects, mostly spreadsheets but sometimes people send me word docs that way. Really really really useful for coworking on documents and also for accessing whereever you are.

Thanks, GJ! I was sort of thinking that its 'sharing' facility might to a useful tool for my 'first readers'. That way they can just edit and add their comments online rather than having to send me back the document as an attachment. Sounds like it might be the right tool for what I need.
