  A hard case is pretty heavy and has to be carried like a suitcase, hence the drag of it.

  I use a soft £20 gig bag with adjustable straps like a rucksack. Big enough for all guitars. My bag's a 'Guvnor'.

  While you're in town try out the Roland Micro Cube. For a few more ££ than the Orange, you get loads of power and effects. Six basic settings, replicating amps Marshall JMP1987, Fender Twin Reverb, Vox AC 30TB for the Liverpool sound, Roland JC 120, MESA/Boogie Rectifier and an 'acoustic' setting. It's loud and clear enough for small outdoor gigs. Then there are the FX: flanger, phaser, chorus, tremolo, and delay/reverb. I recommend it to my students for maximum practising fun. A keen user has put online 'some cool settings for the Roland Micro Cube' to replicate 20 classic tracks. £70 well spent. Now around £100. It is also small enough to fit on my bike rack and fits into an average pannier.

  Shoosh. If you get lost "even on foot" then perhaps you could get on a bike. You're never lost for long, not like walking.

  Thanks, everybody, for the printing info. Will look into the Chromebook idea for starters.

  I am looking to replace my old laptop with a tablet. Velocio recommended the nexus 7 above. I have 3 questions:
  Will it connect to a printer as I need to print documents for work occasionally?
  How can I transfer stuff on the laptop to the tablet? Do tablets have usb ports?
  I use Word for work. I assume there are equivalent word processing programmes?
