I might become addicted to buying Microsoft Surfaces and putting free OSes on them and trying to make them usable by others.
This weird "nun chuck computer" design I'm using, where you have a tablet, and then a USB keyboard is really nice. It's currently my main computer.

in reply to silverwizard • •@HippyWizard One time I went to an office at my last job and there was a computer connected to a TV using an HDMI cable, an HDMI to VGA adapter, a VGA cable, and then a VGA to HDMI adapter.
Then I remembered that I was the one who originally set that up.

Tell me what happened, and I really hope you say "They only had a VGA cable and wouldn't buy a cable"
