Well, jpilot looks like pilot desktop, maybe you'd like your laptop and
a palm to talk together.  And of course it's a reasonable PIM even if you
don't own a palm pilot...

I have to admit, I like living in text mode.  ssh isn't really laptop
specific, but it's the huge portion of what my laptop does.
