bear, there are supposed to be keyboards available for tablets ...

Doesn't that make it a laptop? No... seriously.

I'm thinking a laptop MAY be my best option should I need (???) a portable "computing" device. But, I'd still need a mouse. At work (over time), I had one laptop with the little red sandpaper-coated chicklet pointing thing and two with a touchpad. I could never - ever - use either one efficiently. So I always had a mouse tethered to it for meetings and such.

So, yeah.

Forecast: Next Wednesday = 9 degrees, Thursday = 8 degrees. Mom Nature can just bite me.

Good evening Tibs, Fran, Bear, and Snails :) Happy Thursday

New laptops = take day off. :p
It should be a paid holiday kind of thing. Like Thanksreceiving. lol.
Agreed! :toast: I love new laptop day (but not so much data migration day :lol:)
Trying to get windows 8 updates installed, so that i can load windows 8.1. It's taking FOREVER!
(it probably would have gone faster if i'd taken the new computer back to work for teh faster connection...but it's raining ;) )

I still like XP much, much better
Congrats on the shiny new 'puter :thumbs:


Congratulations on being able to drive Mad :thumb: Now go out and buy yourself a sports car :D


Thanks for the tip Tibs, I will check out My Posts soon :) I hope it's better than Subscribed Threads. The delay in jumping to the last page is annoying :D

if that's what you are looking for a laptop will be your best bet. but forget about a wired mouse ;) wireless works great!

I still get the lag with My Posts... *sigh*
I have a laptop with wireless mouse...........
I just use the trackpad with my laptop, but my trackpad is the new kind that supports multi-touch. It was a little frustrating to learn, but now I like it very much :thumb:

They are laser mice. Most are these days. They just replace the wire with bluetooth. Handy...and low range.

Some laptops have a removable keyboard...and become the Bear-hated tablet. They are, of course, touch screens too. The Windows one does that, for example.

Hi all.

Sorry to hear about the snow Tibs.

How did you like the "My Posts" thing Stone? That's what I use. Tells me who replied to any threads I've been posting in. So I can keep track of what's going on....at least for the 1st page worth. ;)

~~~~~ Fran and anyone I missed. Wonder if CES is still loading updates. She should start the 8.1 thing tonight and go to bed. :D
