Last year I got a netbook for just that purpose. I chose one which had a long battery life, thinking I would spend my afternoons in a coffee shop, but the netbook never ‘stuck’. Maybe I just got the wrong one. It does have a built in camera though, so I use it mostly for Skype and that has been really useful for meetings, sort of as a second monitor.

Thank you. I have been contemplating the recent studies that says that transitioning from room to room, especially going through doorways ‘comparmentalizes’ the mind — and is related to forgetting things. This really spoke to me of why we can leave the world outside behind when we come through our front door. It is one more reason why we want to pay attention to these transition areas!
