I finally got my Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet PC replacement for my HP TC1100. This will be my new primary work system. I really like the TC1100 but after getting use to a wide screen using the Compaq nw8000 during my recent hard drive woes, I needed to make a change.  Plus the processor upgrade is going to be very noticable.

The smart thing I did today was not leave with the M4 on travel until it was properly setup.  It was very tempting though.  But I wouldn’t be typing this or doing a podcast tonight if I had a raw, non-configured system.  Maybe next week.

Eric Mack has the same unit and noted in his blog/podcasts that the unit is full of other vendor software.  It is better to say the unit is "infected" … my first attempt at getting AOL uninstalled failed. 😦

Come on Toshiba … serious IT pros do not need this stuff on their machine.  It makes me seriously consider how much I want to recommend something like this to another pro.  We just don’t have time for it.
