Whilst flicking through some feeds today, I came across this story and realised that we have loads of stuff about planes but not alot about the Pioneers of early flight. After all, this whole board would not exsist without them. :thumbsup:

Just read a post in the Program O Blogs, and I thought I'd share:

Hi guys

I have just bought Mrs DD a nice shiny new Sony Vaio laptop that has win8 installed on it.

Now I'm having to learn the new system as I've never touched before myself and I'm a bit more tech savvy than my darling wife, although as I'm sure you have worked out already i'm far from an expert either :D

I'm doing pretty well so far, worked out the basics of moving around the screens etc, but I have come to a snag, I can't seem to download apps rom the app store.

Origianlly I set up the laptop with the wrong location, no big deal i sorted that out thinking that would cure the issue but to no avail.

Any ideas anyone?

I watched Skyfull last night, was worth watching, pretty good film, I would probably give it 4 out of 5.

Got it from Sainsburys, they had a deal on, spend £30 in store and get the Blu Ray for £12, it came with the a DVD and Blu Ray in the box.

I been doing some research on tables the last couple of days. Why you ask? Positive thinking is my answer :D Taxes are getting done tomorrow and my fingers are crossed for a +return.

Features I found during my research that I would like to have.

1) Gorilla glass 2, great for keeping the screen from getting scratches.
2) 10.1 to a 11.6 display
3) blue tooth
4) usb 3.0
5) keyboard dock

Features I need:
0)price under 1,000.oo usd
1) Wacom drivers for s-pen, seems there are a few different companies but Wacom is the best. I will not settle for less here.
2) windows 8 or windows 8 pro, no windows 8 rt
3) at least 64 gb ssd for storage or more, with a way to add more through micro or mini card
4) mic input
5) full size usb

So far here is a few I like, I'll post below in order.
1) Surface pro http://surface.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/Content/pbpage.Surface_Pro?ESICaching=off
2) Samsung ATIV smart pc 500t http://www.samsung.com/global/ativ/ativ_pc.html
3) ThinkPad Tablet 2 http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/tablet/thinkpad/thinkpad-tablet-2/
4) Asus Vivo Tab http://www.asus.com/vivo/en/vivoTab.htm

Most listed above are the new atom based, which limits the units to only 2gigs of ddr2 memory and usb 2.0 both of which are sort of outdated tech. but on the other hand it makes them lighter, fanless and gives more battery life. Also it tends to keep cost down. However I like performance and the Surface pro is the only one on the list with a core i5 which I know would be best for my needs and wants, but it also comes with the higher price. though the surface pro 64 gb ssd model is still with-in price range.

Questions
1) Do you guys have any windows 8 tablet that you like? if so which ones and why.
2) Do you guys have or know of any of listed tablets above or others that I may find of interest?
