[Opensim-users] Windows 8.1 tablet experience?

[Drew Hart]

I bought a cheap $200 tablet that I never thought the viewers would work on
- well, I decided to try and it's great - this would be SL (and the Linden
viewer) I am using it for.  I can't stay on forever, and the battery is
short lived, but I couldn't believe a $200 windows tablet would allow me to
use SL - and all features at that.  It's a Lenovo Miix 2 8.  I would
recommend it for the money.
