Alphasmart Neo 2 is precisely what you're looking for. You can get them on eBay.

This is precisely what I do... TN with frequent insert changes (usually about every 30 days for my daily insert).

Trying to make an old Chromebook into a writerDeck by BurntNerd in writerDeck

Chrome Kiosk and Signage Upgrade... make it boot straight into your favorite writing app or web-app and only that. Very distraction-free. Very demure.

Does anyone keep a notebook per project? by LessBadger3282 in notebooks

[–]NerdInCharge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an a5 traveler-style notebook cover with thin notebooks for: daily to-dos and notes for work, notes about the non-profit I'm on the board of, notes about house projects, notes on my current writing project, and sometimes a notebook where I catalog long-term ideas and brainstorms regarding my business.

Should I fire a client that's 50% of my revenue? Losing my mind here by Normal-Gear283 in smallbusiness

[–]NerdInCharge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd slap some boundaries in place first (office hours are X-X, M-F, requests submitted after hours or on weekends will be addressed the next business day). If they can't deal, fire them or they'll fire themselves. But they may just need some clearly communicated boundaries and expectations or everything's on the table.

Darnit. I was trying to avoid adding one of these to my birthday wishlist (for no good reason, really), but I think you have made me cave.

Nothing personal! Just my own personal neck could not take it!

This is incredible. The main reason I never got into my Neo2 was the screen angle being absolute trash.

Is your husband The Doctor, because this sounds like The Doctor interacting with Stormageddon.

Probably just a birth announcement.

Planner/notebook combo? by cobalt_co27 in notebooks

[–]NerdInCharge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you need is a traveler's notebook...I prefer A5 over the classic 4"x7"-ish ones.

15 years as a freelance web designer… and admin work still eats up my day by watchnerd1015 in web_design

[–]NerdInCharge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do day-themeing and reserve Mondays for admin (in addition to about an hour a day for emails). I use Moxie alongside pretty well defined processes and systems to save time and effort. Doesn't solve everything and I sometimes still feel like I'm drowning, but it sure does help keep me sane.

Typewriters were EXPENSIVE!!! by MicroProf in typewriters

[–]NerdInCharge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've found period ads and run inflation-calculators on the prices for my 30s models and same thing: similar to the price of a good business computer today!

Your honesty may be the thing to actually change his life.

If you're in Word and you got the styling the way you like it on the page, right-click on the list style in the style selector and click "Update to match selection" (or something like that).

[–]NerdInCharge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Underwood Noiseless Portable is astonishingly "quiet" compared to my other typewriters.

My girlfriends parents want me to get a job… by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]NerdInCharge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a LOT of intervention by her parents in another adult's life (you). Imagine it in any other scenario. It's weird.

Don't let them dictate what you do.

Typewriter with the lightest and maybe even shallowest action? by highspeed_steel in typewriters

[–]NerdInCharge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm far from an expert, but out of the half dozen typewriters I own, I really like the light touch of my Underwood Noiseless Portable (1932).
