I've decided to do a little more experimentation with my home-brewed
glass panel display.

So I purchased at 10" Android tablet computer to see if I can make my
script files run on this platform.  I paid $159 for the computer from
"http://buy.com" with free shipping.

It seems to be designed mostly as a toy.  It works great for emails and
stuff, is kinda slow at browsing the web when web pages are complex, and
so far I have not managed to figure out how to run any custom software
on it.  An Android SDK (Software Development Kit) is available, but
after examining its features I've concluded that I may not have enough
years left on this planet to reap any benefits from studying the SDK.

I have found web sites that describe methods of making small Android
devices boot Linux, so I ordered some micro-SD memory cards which appear
to be necessary for Linux usage.  The trick is to get the device to boot
off the external SD card instead of the internal solid state memory.  We
will see.

That pretty much parallels the expierence I have had with the Auzus Transformer. They
are mostly toys without enough I/O for serious use.

I assume you did not get a USB port with yours.
