Hahahah ..

To clarify, I'll only be looking through the window in the day time for terrestrial viewing.

Night time I'll be dragging it out side. And will take it with me when I head to the country for little holidays.

I do like the idea of connecting a scope up to my laptop and getting a guided tour, but I suspect then I won't really learn a great deal. It's a tradeoff between being shown more than i'll likely find by myself but remembering little of it, or endeavouring to find them myself and having a greater sense of achievement, plus having what I consider to be a less ugly looking telescope (the Nexstar one seems a little ugly).

I was planning to goto the Hunter Valley to drink myself blind, so a goto telescope would be an advantage then. Considering i'll use it more indooors, I'll guess I should avoid it. Probably better I spend that $50 on something else.
