I accept the fact that I am part of the tech support generation. Nothing shows that like the 10 hours I put in working on my mom’s computer this week. 1 was happy to do it to. In fact, it was a lot of fun. I was basically playing with a pair of tablet pc’s.  I finally learned hour to use the floating input panel on mine while I showed my mother how to best use her tablet.  As a matter of fact, I’m using MS Word and the pen to site this blog post.  While sitting in the airport.  I worked with her to pick out a new tablet, we moved all of her old programs and data from her old computer to her new and, and I made sure she knew how to sync her IPod and Palm Pilot. By the time we finished, I’d spent about ten hours and had gotten more familiar with tablets in general.  Ihara yet to play with the speech recognition, but I’ve learned that the handwriting recognition kicks ass.  I have not really used mine for any work purposes yet so right now it is just the best toy ever! I wouldn’t trade it for the best desktops anywhere.
