TABITHA

March 10th 2009, 8:25AM

If there was any doubt that I've got a buy-something-just-for-the-hell-of-it streak in me, this next PC proves it and then some.  I've always wanted a tablet PC, and now I've got one.  Think of it as the world's biggest iTouch...!

I call her Tabitha (naturally...) and she does have a couple of real uses.  First off, her touch-screen is quite responsive, so with the digital pen supplied and the right software, she's perfect for photo retouching and editing.  I'm using GIMP at the moment, until I buy something a little more comprehensive.  Second, being a tablet PC means using her display in portrait mode is child's play - and very, very handy when reading PDF files and ebooks.  It's also nice that her screen can be used in a normal laptop configuration.

Anyway... while I'm setting up Trudy this morning, I'll do the same for Tabitha.  The same situation as yesterday, in that I'm switching between two different OS's, but this time it's not so strange.  One issue that does appear is that Norton's takes it's time setting up, but once that's done, the rest of the whole Windows Update thing goes without a hitch.

Now she is patched and secured, I'll leave Tabitha alone for a while.  The big girls are up next... and they won't be anywhere as easy to set up as the first five.
