Really good feedback - thanks!

I have a laptop. It's functioning really well (knock on wood), but it's 5.5 years old. I expect I'll have to replace it within a year - but am hoping to prolong that as much as possible by not traveling with it - hence the want for an ipad For a lot of reasons, I'll definitely be replacing it with a mac.

The page number thing isn't something I had thought about - thank you! As I said, I think I'm going to try for a semester before trying e-anything, and then go from there. No need to change too much at once
