The Holy Grail of Book Editing

My new little Acer netbook is a gem (literally, it's sapphire blue). I used it on my commute for the first time this morning and got six pages of edits done. I finished my first edit draft of Parsifal last night (via hard copy markup - that's by hand on a printed manuscript, which is why this whole process is taking me so long) and now I'm going back and transcribing the changes I made into the master file. I still need to print it out after every draft and read it as it appears on the printed page because sometimes you catch things that you miss on a computer screen, but this is still going to be a lot better with the netbook. I'll save on paper and printing and I'll save time and energy.
