@skematica To the contrary, it was a lot more feasible before 9/11. I remember a flight to Mexico a long, long time ago. Customs was little more than, "Hey, what's up". Boom. Done. Only reason I was stopped coming back in was an agent wanted to know how much I paid for the marble chess set I was bringing back and where I picked it up. She thought it was awesome.
It's a lot different now.

@literary It looked like a great tool for doing things free form and out of sequence which is the way my mind works for writing. However, I'm not the family writer. Well, I am but I with code instead of prose. Not so sure Sidekick would take to it. :)
@larand There are a lot of practical, business reasons to drive too. Having the freedom to drop in on a customer and check up on them is priceless.

@literary My wife and I both have purchased Scrivener but have yet to even install it. I guess we are "stuck in our ways" to some extent. I really need to install it and have a look-see.
@jextxadore I have a ruggedized Android phone with dual sim. Got it for software testing. Came straight from China. Can't use it for anything else though because I am on Verizon.
@literary I liked some things about it but it's limitations and quirks were just too numerous. OpenOffice/LibreOffice is okay. My wife is a writer and uses that but I'm trying to get her to move to Word. Mostly because when I dump a file to HTML in order to create the ebooks, the HTML it produces is a godawful mess. Word's HTML export is so much cleaner.
@skematica It'd probably be me firing up my PaperWhite and losing myself in some book for a couple of hours.
@literary Your experience with Pages mirrors mine. I was happy to move back to Word.
@konrad If you are traveling with a lot of equipment like I do, going through the TSA mess is more irritating than putting on some Jazz or Classical, opening the sunroof and cruising south. The trip would take me roughly ten hours. It's not bad at all. It also gives me the freedom to pop in and visit customers on the way back.
My biggest issue is that I can seldom spare two hours, let alone two days.
