Not sure if this exists, but searching anyway

As the topic name suggests I'm not even sure if this item exists but...well...here goes. Basicl it boils down to, effectivly, a lap/palmtop that only serves as a word processer and nothing else. No windows, no dos, no linux/whatever, just wordprocessing. Why am i looking for something with so little functionality when I could spring for a full blown does it all pda? My handwriting, to be quite honest, would be embarassing even for a third grader. I've gone through everything you can think of to attempt to make improvements but I just can't seem to be able to make that step towards neatness and ledgeability. That and since my typing is faster than my handwriting, plus the fact I wouldn't have stacks of paper everybody could root through at will(I'm paranoid about my family poking into my writing, mostly since we don't exactly see eye to eye and they'd possibly assume I have some sort of psychological problem if they saw halve the ideas I have if they were on paper).

Li'l help would be appreciated along with an absense of flames since yes I know I could just go to ebay and buy an old laptop that runs dos and have it set so it automaticly boots into the wordprocesser of your choice, but I don't trust ebay when it comes to electronics, that and I'd preffer this to be inexpensive...and even old laptops arn't exactly 'affordable' at the moment(granted I've seen some for less than $100, but again, there's the whole trust thing).
 
Not heard of a WP dedicated pc (except for the really old stuff - Amstrads etc), even then, if you had a Jill Bates OS of some sort, then Open Office is completely free & pretty functional for most WP apps.

Alternatively, you could try a flavour of Linux with one of the various WP packages that are floating around.
 
Well I've seen something that looks like its close to what i want save for the all importaint price point. Seems they're basicly PDAs with full/near full sized keyboards attached.
