An early Birthday/Christmas present

Over the last couple of years Linda and I have been talking about a computer device to carry in the truck.

Back a few years ago I made a stand for our 14 inch laptop that swiveled and tilted, but it interfered with the radio and AC controls, plus the dogs sitting area. So I removed it.

We talked about a small, 10 inch computer or a tablet but with our old air card that did not allow us access to the internet. When we got the new Verizon 4510L MIFI device we have a WiFi hot spot. So that opened doors to different things.

The other day we bought an ACER ICONIA TABLET MODEL A500 which works on wifi. Both of us liked the idea of the “apps” that are available on the smart phones and tablets and that is why we went with the tablet vs the small computer.

So far we like it, and are going thru the learning curve.

So, happy birthday Linda (Dec. 24th) and merry Christmas to us

love to ya all

Jim and Linda
