Portability

There's another thing I keep thinking about buying. A laptop or netbook kinda thing. Mainly for long trips where taking a desktop is obviously Not An Option.

Odds are I'd keep the stuff on that limited to things I'd want to try to work on. In particular, I'd likely include my homebrew info and tools for the 2600. (And by that time, probably the 7800 and/or Colecovision)

Granted, on previous trips I just take the DS, PSP, and mp3 players with me and I'm good for the entire vacation but it'd probably be nice to have more options available. I'd probably get a lot more done on Maze Realms if I had access to it but not the internet (Which is ever the distraction. >_>)

A word to the wise (and to you too, if you want -- i'm hardly picky). 15" is WAY TOO FREAKING BIG. No matter what the dude at Future Shop says between accosting you in the aisle and force-feeding you a service plan, you do not need that much monitor sitting on your lap.

Also, in my experience, laptop batteries never last long enough. For long trips, you may want to invest in a spare.
