My primary machine is a Motion M1400 tablet that I got in 2004. It has a whopping 12.1" display and is woefully underpowered at 512MB RAM. It's never failed to serve me; even after I got a Power Mac G4 with one of those nice Dell 24" monitors ... I kept using the tablet.

Well, I just knocked it over from my desk. Surprisingly, it works fine (even the tablet functionality!). Unfortunately, the screen now looks like this:

Words cannot express my sorrows right now, but I'm still really surprised this tablet is chugging along with no problems. You'd figure a drop of 3 feet straight onto concrete would do more than aesthetic damage.

Anyways, I'm now forced to look into getting a new computer ... I would reclaim my personal laptop from MindTouch, but the thought of moving my development environment onto another laptop is not enticing (it contained a 5GB VM image of multiple Deki Wiki environments!)

Decisions, decisions... (good thing I get to go home and delay making this decision for another two weeks!)

A moment of silence for my soon-to-be-retired tablet... thank you.
