I just realized that the 770 and n800 have no keyboard, so you'd need the
n810...i'd stick with the pda as you can find a nice one for $125 or so, be
it a windows one or a linux one. Get a used one on ebay for even less, since
you will only need it during the summer. Just something small with a
keyboard and wifi and run a vnc program.
