As I mentioned yesterday, Jamie and I had a visit to Officeworks. I had in mind to buy a tablet for Marilyn as the one she has been using is a few years old and the screen is not as sharp as it once was. In fact it was a Samsung Tab 8 which Jamie and Nera received as a freebie when they signed up for home internet. It was passed on to me and I used it daily until I acquired my Lenovo, bought for $99 in a JB HiFi sale.
I love going to Officeworks. Some men rhapsodise about visiting Bunnings but I just don't get it. I met a bloke once who told me the best Christmas present he received was a $100 Bunnings voucher. I can visualise him now: running into the big shop, voucher in hand, to pick out a new shovel or punnet of seedlings.
On the other hand, Officeworks is like a fairy kingdom, with aisle after aisle of treasures. I could spend hours there (and often do).
Yesterday, we looked at the avalaible tablets and I selected a Lenovo Tab 10. It's a beautiful machine with a very clear screen. Marilyn has a number of favourite games that she likes to play, including jigsaws so a 10-inch screen gives her a big enough work space without being too ponderous.
I've already floated the idea that, if this purchase proves to be worthwhile, I might consider buying myself one too. It doesn't hurt to lay the groundwork.
