Nothing and Some More

What I Want

---

I want a laptop.
I want a laptop that I can carry on travel without an extra luggage. I don't care about color. I don't care about wonderful 17'' screen. I don't care about dvd-player.
I want a laptop with a keyboard big enough to type. I want a laptop that can run on for 10 hours without burning my pants. I want a laptop that can read my CompactFlash card from my Digital Camera. I want 10 Gb hard disk, so I can record sounds, pictures and writing during my trip. I want a removable cd-drive that can be a nomad-like mp3 player when removed.

Can I buy it ?

I want a software to write music without a MIDI keyboard and without the mouse. I've tried sequencers: I just want to write melody by trial and error: I want to be able to enter a few notes AABBC, listen to them, delete some of them. I want the last 10 notes to be looping, with a pause at the end. So I can hear the melody all the time.
The difference with a WIW hardware ? I can try writing that software.

I want a book that give me the standard plots used in litterature. Like a cookbook. Yeah, I can try writing that one too.

I want a software with a simple dictionnary, that can find rhyme, sound analogies (with soundex), synonyms, anagrams and etymology. I want it to have english, french and spanish at least. I want to be able to add new words. I want to be able to buy new dictionnaries.
I want a soundex algorithm that works for french and english at the same time.

I want books about advertising. I want books about statistics. I guess I also want books about sociology.
I just want books in fact.
And more time to read them.
