[sf-lug] I'm so proud of my daughter: budding geek (was: Re: Fwd: Tablet PCs from Intel )

Thanks Michael!

I went and received my Tablet. The marketing pitch was actually pretty

My first project will be to get it to work with Arduino in some way or

I was showing it to my daughter and the first thing she did was bring up 
the terminal....
