An excellent writing machine

Post by The_Anomaly »

Hey folks,

I'm pretty sure this is the right place for this, but if it isn't, feel free to move it, mods and admins.

Back in 2005, I discovered a writing tool that has been a tremendous asset to me since I'm on the go alot. I use it everywhere, and the more I go around talking about it, the more amazed I am that more and more people haven't heard of it.

It's called the NEO by Alphasmart and it's a portable word processor. See the link...

For starters, it's got 700 hours of runtime on 3 AA batteries and is just a basic text machine (like a calculator but for text and other printable characters). If you're like me, you like to write in restaurants and while waiting in the doctor's office, or what not. I just can't leave this machine behind.

Anyways, thought I'd tell everyone about it. If you get tired of carrying around a bulky, power-hungry laptop, you just might give it a try if you haven't already. Go out and about, and then when you get home, just plug the USB into your main computer with a word doc open and transfer your materials. I've beat mine up but still it keeps on ticking! It isn't a DVD or internet machine (the Dana model is though), but I highly recommend it.

Anybody else heard of/use this thing?

:o Oh, uh, reading over this post after it is now posted and my being new here, I want to make sure that this isn't perceived as an attempt to spam! I do not now, nor have I ever sold these things, and I don't promote them for anyone. I just thought I'd put it out there because it is a tremendous writing tool!
