Okay, before you all bite my head off, hear me out.
I was thinking of saving up for the eee pc. It costs a couple hundred bucks. (Price depends on the model, but the cheapest ones go for under two hundred NEW. And I could buy used.)
It weighs two pounds, and is an amazing machine all around. Having something like this would give me so many advantages on the road. Maps. Crew Changes. Endless information on camping, cooking, treatment of injuries, hitching, cities etc. Books. Movies. Music. The ability to post on stp.
Everything that would mean pounds and pounds of extra weight, condensed into one little two pound package.
Plus, it's supposed to be REALLY durable. And it would be even more so if I bought a hard case for it, which would add another half pound absolute max.
Sure, it would suck if it got stolen. But it would suck if anything I own got stolen.
I'm pretty sure the rewards outweigh the risks here. Thoughts?
