Amazon’s new Fire HD 8 tablet has caught my eye! Especially the “Tangerine”, having longed for an orange phone, tablet or reader. My old technology, TC1100 that is around 10 years old, a 3 or 4 year old Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 is agonizingly slow now (even after 3 flashes and reloads) and…… Continue reading Replacing Old Technology
