I am looking for a certain type of non-fiction book. These books are very often instructional with the words handwritten (or typed with a font that imitates handwriting) and the illustrations hand-drawn giving the book the appearance of a photocopied notebook. [more inside]

My desktop computer has just died so I'm thinking of finally buying a notebook to replace it. Problem is, I know very little about the notebook 'scene' and have no real idea what's good and what's not. Out of all the notebooks available from here, which one would you get? My budget is $2000 but I'd go as high as $2500 if there was a compelling reason to do so. And if there's any extra accessories I'm really going to need, let me know. Thanks!

Anyone know where I can get a stash of Kyokuto Expedient Notebooks, DOT 5mm space? They are apparently made in China and I've only ever found them at Kinokuniya stores, but the San Francisco store told me last night that they are no longer going to be carrying them, which caused me a mild panic attack. The internet mostly points me back to this Askme thread, which is delightful, but does not solve my problem. Help me, clever and resourceful Mefites!

Can I damage my laptop by using a power adapter that has a slightly higher wattage than the original adapter? The original adapter was 65W, and the aftermarket one is 70W. The voltage is switchable. My original adapter had a voltage of 18.5V, this one says that if I need 18.5V, I should choose 18V. Any chance of damaging the computer by using this one? [more inside]
