This is really strange. [View all]

I have been using my android tablet for my computer needs and that goes for DU too. My Samsung tablet has had charging issues for a year and is a pain in my ass. It is a touchscreen tablet and I use it since I am sick, in bed a lot and broke due to med bills and I don't have a lap top. My desk top computer is for real stuff, like printing, cut and paste, etc. and is in my living area. Well, now I have to unplug it and stick it in my bedroom using a cordless keyboard and mouse. It is a completely different experience. The stuff on the screen isn't the same as my tablet and it is disorienting. Maybe I can actually post a photo now, of course it will take months to figure that out. I can see everyone's avatar and all sorts of other stuff that isn't on my tablet. I am undecided about liking it better or not. I am almost blind and I had to enlarge it until there are about 5 words that fit on the screen at a time. I can see everyone post total too. Yes, this is weird and the jury is still out on the pros and cons between the two devices. I kind of want my familiar tablet back since it takes a long time to type and use a mouse.
