Agreed - I have Stellarium and it's great!
You might consider making a set of analog setting circles as well, perhaps with a digital angle finder from carbatec - do a search for analog setting circles in the DIY section. Well worth it if you already have a laptop (and can't afford Argo Navis just yet). Stellarium or similar software will let you search for the objects by their name/code, and will tell you exactly where to point your scope according to your setting circle / angle finder.
