What? I thought this was all Bush and his neocon evil-doers! Sorry, had to get that out of the way. Now let's drop he partisanship and all work together to get back our liberties.
Here is the answer to your question. Yes, they do still exist!
This travel typewriter will be just what you need to organize your notes and with some simple OCR software it's easy to convert your notes into digital format.
Hope this helps!
If you have decent cellular/PCS reception in the area, there are other terrestrial options that you might consider.
The good people at Verison have a PCI card that gives you always on internet connection via their cellular netwok. Speeds and latency are pretty good. I saw download speeds at 300+Kb/s sustained and upload around 80Kb/s. Latency was around a 300ms on the hight end, and I used it to manage my box via SSH without issues. One consideration is that this option is geared toward a Windows enviroment and I do not know about linux support for it as it uses a propietry dialer client to connect.
I've used Sprint's PCS service much the same; however, only with a PCMCIA card. I do not know if they have a PCI version of the card. Speeds/Latency were about the same and the same disclaimer applies concerning this being a Windows solution.
Costs on these packages were $80/month for "unlimited" access (read contract for limitations on "unlimited").
Hope this helps!
