Ordering another Alphasmart
Can't find mine, and the used ones are so darn cheap on ebay it almost don't pay to look for my own.
Gotta drive CitizenBBN and Pedrodagr8 crazy with my Luddite device, but they are really terrific for what they do.
If you ever have a job or a hobby where you either take a lot of notes via typing, or simply write, as in short stories or books, this is something you should check out.

Re: Ordering another Alphasmart
Got that bad boy in yesterday.
$40 I have a device that I can type on and
a) boots up instantly
b) boots down instantly
c) saves to flash memory automatically with every keystroke
d) has a battery life of approximately 700+ HOURS
e) memory is "only" about 200 pages, but my previous Alphasmarts only had 100 page memories, so this is doubling the memory.
I use it for notetaking (on occasion), and have a couple of "files" (there are 8 File buttons on it) that are designated for specific things, like Billing matters, etc. But mostly I use it to "dump" things to my computer. It's designed to be temporary. If I ever get back to writing, this is what I want to use 99% of the time. Love the keyboard, too.
Luddites, Unite! Does nothing other than type and dump. Just what I want.

Re: Ordering another Alphasmart
Can you find new NiMH batteries to fit it, or is the one that comes with it rechargeable?

I'm not sure if the rechargeable batteries are in it, but if they are, I will remove them. I'm all for being green, but I'll take 700+ hours from disposable alkaline batteries instead.
It has power and I haven't removed the battery compartment to see what type battery yet.

Got my curiosity up, so I unscrewed the battery door and it was three AA Duracells.
