- Maybe the problem is that portables and notebooks have had a steep
- drop in price. I've got the old bns, and the main beef I have with
- it is the editor. You can have insert mode on and not be able to
- move around your file, or you can type and have everything appear
- at the end. On the pc, I always work in insert mode, and that
- allows me to go back and stick anything in at will. The bns can't
- do this, at least in my version. It's okay for typing in notes,
- but editing is a pain in the backside.
-
- With the price-drop in notebooks, you can't help but compare the two.
