Have You Ever Worked With A Mini Laptop?

Sure, writing calls or cries for comfort and convenience.  What I mean is, the brain exerts the effort in producing the material, the end product of thought and imagination, and the vehicle is the pen, and the keyboard of a computer, with the mobility of one hand and both, respectively.

Did I mention the computer there?

Okay,  the computer is not a luxury item on the shopping list of people who want to write; it is an extreme necessity.  Being devoid of this machine or gadget is like having an arm amputated.  You can experience a flash of inspiration now and then, the mind suddenly caught fire, but without a computer to write down your thoughts with you feel like sitting down in a quiet corner contemplating your future and manually writing your memoirs on a piece of paper, or a toilet paper as the case may be.:-)

Fortunately and luckily for me, I've got loved ones who saw to it that I didn't have to meet head on such a dead end since my old computer died a natural death weeks before. The choice was mine as to what suited me. I opted for the cheapest computer in town: a tablet.

Although much rave has been stirred by IPads of late as I was with their hyped operating system, Android, I discovered to my regret it was manufactured to give me a headache navigating the maze of its complexity, let alone being able to post not a soul of my thoughts on any of the writing websites!

Next I then bought a second-hand mini laptop with Windows XP installed and I'm home free.

Midget as the device might be and the keyboard I typed on, the transference of thoughts from my brain to the monitor screen had been smooth sailing to accomplish. It isn't so much how small, then, the computer is as how simplicity is made to be more complex with the innovations. It's perplexing when innovation makes simple things downright complicated, a misnomer as well.

So with Windows XP I'm at home again writing at full blast, never mind if it is on my new buddy mini laptop, Asus Eee 701 4G as against my old desktop that "collapsed."

Android, keep it simple, stupid.:-)
