SATEN IS HERE!!!

They just delivered it!

The box rattles a lot when moved; it doesn't seem to be packed very well. I hope it isn't DOA.

UPDATE: Getting through tthe initial Windows setup is a royal pain in the tail, because the touch screen keyboard simulation defaults to auto-repeat, and because hovering is treated as the same as clicking. My name is "Sttttteeeevvvee" no, it isn't. And every time I tried to backspace over the extra t's and e's, it would take my S out too. I think it took ten minutes for me to get it right.

This would have been fifty times easier if I had a USB keyboard, but I don't.

UPDATE: It's charging now and I'm not going to do anything until the battery is ready.

1 As Fajita said to Goku after Trunks' departure, "Enough with the suspense already! Get on with the blasted story!" (sorry for the English dub... I always wanted to know what he said originally).

2 Hmm.... That didn't come out as I expected, sorry. I mean I am curious to see how well a pad works.

3 It's "Vegita", not "Fajita". Toriyama is big on naming themes, using English words, and Saiyajin are all named after vegetables: Nappa, Bardock, Kakarot (carrot), Raditz (radish), and so on. Vegita is "vegetable" but he's royal family.

5 That was posted with Saten. The reason it's short is that the onscreen keyboard is painful to use. I'm going to have to experiment with the handwriting recognition system.

6 But it'll be a while. First to let Windows Update do 26 patches. (Gad)
