Yup, so this morning I am looking for my TC1100 keyboard. There are two in the household so it shouldn’t be too hard to find just one of them. Can’t find it, can’t find it until I decide to make another latte and voila! This is exactly how I found the scene of the crime. 

Last night I was showing Tim something on the internet while cooking and I must have separated the keyboard from the slate at some point. And no, HP, we did not use the keyboard as a cutting board (note the yellow cuttingboard beneath the bread basket). It does show how our Tablet PC’s have morphed into our domestic lives. 

Part III

Go here for Part II and here for Part I of our Tablet PC repair adventures. 

Uh oh, Lyn’s turn again after a one-year plus ownership. Her TC1100 was not able to charge any battery. The motherboard was replaced. The part was out of stock and instead of a 2 or 3 day repair trip to Hull, Quebec it came back in four days. 

Unfortunately, my hard drive has been making roaring noises on and off for the past few weeks. I have been relatively careful in making back ups and I will have to play it by ear if and when I consider returning it. It’s always very hard to decide to give it up since it’s my main and only beloved TC1100. Sigh.

On the weekend we enjoyed some nice old Montreal cafe atmosphere. The hot chocolate was delicious, not too sweet and real cocoa. And a little TC1100 time.

The TC 1100 takes its case to the Quebec Court of Appeal on our weekend trip to Montreal.

HP, don’t discontinue this hybrid!

See this forum on Tablet PC Buzz for more info on keeping the TC1100 form factor alive. Or write to Mark Hurd, HP CEO and tell him how HP is doing itself a disservice by discontinuing the TC1100 form factor. We’ll be closely watching the outcome of the Appeals case in Quebec and elsewhere!

Martinique Beach is a favorite Nova Scotia spot. Simon, who just moved to Nova Scotia in October, likes Martinique Beach too. He kind of calls it his own. In that way dogs do.

On a cloudy October day, you and your dog and your friends and your TC1100 can have miles of beach all to yourselves.
