Oh, good. I was worried I was the only person emotionally fragile enough to sniffle at home improvement projects.

Completely unrelated question--you have an AlphaSmart, yes? I want to ask for one for Christmas, and since you're the only person I know who has one...tell me if it's worth forfeiting all my other presents for this expensive thing? (Also, is it easy to carry around? I've seen pictures, and it looks heavier than a laptop.)
