[conspire] os. for the sub $100 devices at Fry's this week [ promo code ] ?

[bruce coston]

os./es for the sub $100 devices at Fry's this week ?
Look out ! So far these things have proven to just suck money and time . 
A good os. could make them amazing for the $  99 , 60 and/or 50 they cost . I bought the $99 ish hyundai atom 3735 based device for someone and he hates it in w10. but is too lazy to try real changes .  
Any knowledgeable suggestions ? 
Of course the picture frames have similar potential/s but more so . 
- Best wishes and extreme caution/s - Bruce

  I was?hoping for?a constructive discussion about
 instruction for people with special needs.? When I tried to
 think about math for the blind, I kept using words like
 "see" and "visualize".? Obviously my thinking was totally
 wrong.
 A little web browsing gave a lot of suggestions for grade
 school math concepts using physical objects for counting,
 grouping, etc.? Some of these?would also be great?for people
 who have sight but don't understand math.? There was also an
 account of someone getting on a stool to feel how the two
 walls and a ceiling make a 3D corner. Apparently there are
 adaptations for Braille that supports mathematical
 equations. 
 
 Then, I recalled that many years ago, I knew a blind man who
 was an systems analyst at IBM.? Sometimes I took him to an
 evening meeting.? Coming home, I was the one with the
 disadvantage.? He had no difficulty going through the dark
 parking lot.
 He really liked his cable TV, which he generally had on the
 Playboy channel.? He enjoyed it just as much from the next
 room as long as the volume was up
