Neo by AlphaSmart

Never mind kids, the Internet is my greatest distraction. I’m always fighting with myself to keep from checking my email, surfing for software or books, blogging, reading other blogs, etc. I spend too much time on the Internet. It’s a wonder that I get any writing done.

This morning, I passed an ad in the Writer’s Digest for the Neo by AlphaSmart without a second thought. Then, as my husband and I were talking about our impending vacation, I began to think about the hours I’m going to be trapped on airplanes without a cigarette. I estimate 12 - 15 hours total. Then I began to think about the two-week downtime this vacation is going to cause and how it’s going to set me back on my editing. I’ve passed the halfway point, by the way.

I returned to the magazine and opened the front cover. Then I went online and began researching the Neo as well as its competitors. There aren’t too many machines like this on the market. I read the glowing reviews from other writers, who stated how their productivity had improved and how easy the Neo was to use.

Since laptops have proven unwieldy and their batteries don’t last a day, much less 700 hours, this would be perfect. I can write on the plane, in the car, by the pool after I get home, etc. I’m looking forward to reviewing this machine. In the meantime, I’ll paste the link below.
