I agree, we live and die by them here at work. Infact we have like UBER cool ones in conference rooms, smartboards.. basically its like a huge touch screen that you can draw, use apps etc.

The cool part is we can brainstorm an entire whiteboard session, by constantly creating slides as we process the brain (ie snapshot a diagram we are presently at, then duplicate it and continue on so we can see the transition or revert back).

Then once its done, we can then send the entire meetings drawings/rants etc to our inbox via PDF all before we get back to the desk.

VERY cool technology, pricey but its paid for itself , espec in a mining company where projects get thought out on whiteboards.

Have you got one of those new pod walls? the ones were they are whiteboards themselves? should ask brainstrust for those as they too can be handy and don't require as much space.

May be this may help the pain http://www.imaginationcubed.com/Imagine

You need to get out and smell the fresh air and roses. Too much fixation on work and white boards and changing one work cube for another is a sign that your vocabulary needs to be expanded to include the outside world!

There is a cool whiteboard called the huddleboard. There are some mounting rails that it can hang from so that you can take it down when you don't need access to it.

You without a whiteboard - as a former colleague and equally visual person - I cannot imagine it! I even recall a few conversations which pointed to the images on the board long after they were gone. Try Mindmanager - if you're wireless take it with you.
