Hi Long Nose

I reckon if I ply my wife with roses, chocolates and dinner there is a chance I might get away with a purchase without too many bruises

I am actually thinking very strongly about the Netbook at the moment - that way (with a 10" screen) I can install Excel on it too

Don't forget the martinis. We can always write a collective note in support if all else fails.

If your wife is anything like my stay-at-home-mum friends, I would have thought that taking all three kids off her hands for the day would be much more effective!

Yes but much more painful for me!

Besides, that might set a precedent which I would undoubtedly come to regret...

As a follow up, I ended up with a Samsung NC10 netbook. I have loaded iit with office 2007 and Visual Studio 2008 and intend to put SQl Server 2008 on it too (when Mr Archibald remembers to bring his DVD player into work with him!).

It's really good (I can even do some work on it despite the small screen) and has very long battery life (about 6 hours between recharges at the moment).
