Im typing this on a samsung tab e.


Mine was Tab e 7 lite.

I tried one of these and returned it. I had a lot of problems with the
virtual keyboard. I couldn't type - hunt and peck - letters repeated, wrong
letter, etc. Dawned on me too late that maybe I should have use a pencil or
pen instead of my finger? Also wouldn't sign in to the net on my wi fi
system, though system would accept password. Much trouble getting it to do
what I wanted. Just inexperience? Too old for new-fangled gadgets?



I learned touch typing in high school. It is tougher for me to hunt and
peck and you cannot touch type on a tablet. My mother could touch type
but my father could not and he was a typewriter repairman. Guess he did
not need to know how to touch type but just fix them.

I call today's world the Twitterverse where communication is held to 28
characters or so, whatever. Helped kill NG's.
