So I mentioned why I wasn't buying a Microsoft Surface. It was because of cost. But I didn't explain why I wanted a tablet at all. I have a perfectly good laptop that I could use in bed! 

The using in bed part is just because, you know, I'm disabled. But why not use the laptop like that? 

I really, really love touch screens. I grumbled and grumbled about keyboards being better at first. How much I loved computer mice. But now I feel awkward using a mouse and keyboard. I don't even use a keyboard with the mini PC in the living room - I use a wireless mouse and the on screen keyboard. (When it works, the poor thing is OLD) I have learned that I can even use my phone as a mouse and keyboard. Technology has come a LONG way because all of the mouse and keyboard apps when I got the mini PC were pretty garbage. 

So... I want a tablet because I like touch screens. I want it to be new because of the battery issues.

Because I had more money than when I bought the first tablet, I thought I could be super cool and get a mid-range tablet from an American company. The only things I could find were two-in-ones where you can fold the keyboard behind the screen to use it as a tablet. Nope! I broke the screen on my old laptop from simply opening and closing the lid every day. At first I just didn't want to risk my cat throwing up on the keyboard... But then it was just habit. 

Why would I willingly fold a computer like that if I know you can just break the thing by opening and closing a laptop?! And wouldn't the sweat from my legs get into the keyboard if it was sitting on my lap? That doesn't sound nice or fun at all!

So my only option to buy American is to finance a Surface that could possibly break down while I'm still paying for it or gamble with a cheap Chinese brand. I would have to buy like three of those Chinese tablets to be the same cost as a Surface. I'm not planning on doing that at all, but that's just how it is.

Boot Theory is the idea that if you buy a $200 pair of boots that last you five years, that's cheaper than buying $30 boots that last you half a year every time you need them.

Boot Theory works for computers and laptops. You can repair those. You can upgrade them. Boot Theory doesn't work for things that you can't repair easily. It doesn't work when technology gets noticably better over time. A phone battery is more or less meant to go kaput in three years. Once that three years is up, a cheap phone will be faster and have more security than replacing the battery on your current phone.

So yeah. I keep just talking about money here, but that's a big part of it.

How is Haro Wasurene's bank?

He has a three pitch cvvc bank. Or... A VCV with two extra pitches of CVVC. Wait... It's all VCV?! Yeah, the wiki was wrong. He has a very nice and nostalgic voice.
