I would love to hear your thoughts on portable offices. My feeling is that the technology will replace the need for a dedicated home office space for most people, especially those who mainly use their computer for email and internet.

Hi Roberta!
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.
My daughter loves to toss her laptop in her sack and head to the local coffee shop for a cup of tea and quiet time. Gets mountains of work done in the quiet anonymity. She loves the idea of office on the go!
