Thank you both for your suggestions.  The above features are what are attractive about the Chromebook.  The iPad offers similar features, minsu a built-in keyboard.  Yes, there are great keyboards, but unless you are just typing text, I find the arrangement less than easy, as the only way that you can interact with programs is with your finger.  I will have a look at Momonote and another look a GQueues.  I still pine for Ecco, but as much as I love it, I am not too certain about reviving it, as much as it may be my favorite piece of software.  I may reconsider the iPad, but whatever I use, I know that it will need to be light weight, have instant on, and good battery life.  I am still open to further suggestions if anybody has more thoughts.

Thanks,
