wth is starcraft

Since this has turned into "help me buy a laptop" forum, I thought I might jump on the bandwagon. xD Also, I hope you are nostalgia-ing :P

Does anyone remember the Alphasmart? They were these keyboards with small screens that you typed on. That's all they did. You transferred your stuff later to a mac so that it could be printed. Pretty old school. But, I really want something like that, just a portable word processor, but not as dorky looking. I don't even care about interwebs access. The main reasons why are because first I'm kinda cheap about these things, and secondly because my laptop is too wide to be comfortable to carry around with me everywhere I go. Am I doomed to a netbook or do you guys know of something that fits the bill?

Seriously. a Word Processor.

It's basically a weaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak netbook. Not sure what you want exists. You can apparently run Windows CE on it, or you can try installing a Linux distribution. A weaaaaak laptop like that with some Linux distribution will probably do fairly well.

Ahhh, the alphasmart. It was the first thing I ever hacked - the master password was a 5-character string, but guess how few 5-letter words that have to do with school there are in the English language. I think I was in second grade? Good times :P

Alright, I think I agree...the only thing I can do is get a weak netbook. I wish other people wanted it as much as I did.
