Try a Tablet PC in the store too. I used one for a month or so 
recently and it was really hard to give back. The handwriting 
recognition and the feel of writing on glass have improved 
enormously since similar products a few years back. You can also 
just leave all your notes as ink and still use `find' to search 
through them. There's something spooky about doing a search and 
seeing a word scrawled in your own handwriting highlighted as the 
search result. The one's with the flip over top are the ones to look 
at - sometimes (e.g. logon, passwords, etc) a full keyboard is 
really useful. Theres a lovely "gasp" moment in meetings when you 
twizzle the screen over on what looks like a normal laptop and then 
start writing on it.

Cheers,

Dumbledad.
