Thanks, Daneel! If I end up keeping it I might go that route; I use Ubuntu a lot. For now I am playing with win8 on it, though.
I have found two uses for it so far… watching Colbert while cooking and remotely accessing w2012 servers from the Lay-Z-boy. I theorize it will be good for drawing and will attempt to try that next. I’m normally a number #2 pencil kind of guy… but the pen interface on this looks promising.
