Danielle Weatherbee knows that her notebook computer is her undoing, but she can't help it.
As a medical supplies saleswoman, she's on the road constantly, spending much of the day hunched over her keyboard at coffee shops, on planes, in bed, even in cabs.

"But what can I really do?" wonders Weatherbee as she looks up from her Compaq laptop to take a sip of latte at ReJAVAnate Coffee Lounge in Las Vegas. "My laptop is the only way to go for my work. I couldn't live without it."
Weatherbee's woes are becoming increasingly common.
