[clug] Chasing a Cheap Android Tablet

[jm]

Hopefully, not. As I my use case for it would not be computation science
more tutorial exercises, simple calculation which are more involved that
a calculator could handle, and simple plots. If I do get to the stage
were I need more CPU I'd use it more as a platform to develop my idea
before running it on a desktop or bigger machine. I am looking for an
excuse to use this (

) though :-) .
