Grab one of the $99 Touchpads out | there right now, a cheap used Android tablet, used iPad 1, something... Unsure of finding the concentration and brain cycles to master such a device, let alone of finding such a device at such a price, I thank you for the suggestion, but the status quo sounds increasingly appealing. It has, come to think of it, the advantage that we don't have to stay off the phone when we're expecting an incoming fax.
