Laptop advice
Nowadays I have moved away from using a laptop to using a descent desktop computer. Cheaper to buy, easier to service and upgrade etc. What I did tho, for when I need to be mobile is I brought an Asis EEE Pc, which is a ultra portable, and I just tranfer whatever docs I need between the two machines. For my personal situation I find it almost perfect

Autofeeder Recommendations?
I have two Eheim auto feeders, now they must be about 5 years old (give or take), and they are great. I have to agree witht he comments about feeding time being the time to check tanks etc, and strangely enough the ones I use are on the tanks in our main living area. The auto feeders are so much easier than trying to get the cats off the top of the tank

Scaring a falcon
You could try a kite as Caryl suggested .. something like http://www.skytoys.co.nz/proddetail.asp?prod=PLCROW Given you are in Wellington you could also try Dragon Flight in Carterton, as they would be closer and I know they also stock some of that manufacturers products.

So why fish??
My mum had goldfish when I was a kid, and when she got ill, I was given the task of looking after the little blighters. Once she finally passed on to a better place, I looked after the fish for a couple of years till they all had moved on to that same better place. Wasn't really too interested in keeping it going, until some one introduced me to tropicals, and I have never really looked back since. I also enjoy the fact that I can just keep the fish, and just enjoy the solitude, I have other sports/hobbies, where there is never-ending meetings/training nites etc, these can be hard with the time constraints of work, family etc . The best part of that is most fish-keepers that I have met up with understand that, and there is no pressure you just get to enjoy the hobby (with exception fo those required water changes)..

C02 Cylinder Recommendations
It i s worth looking at Weldwell for CO2 cylinders, that is where I got mine from, and at the time it was not that expensive (unfortunately it was so long ago now, I can't remember what I paid for it) Getting the cylinder refilled is no major hassle, I get mine refilled at Wards Cylinder Services in Lower Hutt
