Randy,

Print outs are a good backup plan - though not updatable when scratches or surface changes occur. I like your plan of a mini-OTB in your own home: at least you can argue successfully there with all the 'loudmouths'

I am finding the new Windows 8 tablet I got to be a remarkable tool. As a tablet, it runs RDSS just fine although better in a 2 panel layout due to the smaller screen. As another computer in my own in-house OTB, it ramps up to a big external HDMI screen just fine, throw on a mouse and keyboard and it's just like any other computer you have - except faster.

If you are seriously thinking about another computer for your office, consider a Windows tablet: MS Surface Pro, Samsung ATIV Pro 700T or Acer Iconia W700. If you can wait a month, consider the Lenovo Helix.

Real Windows computing and uncompromised mobile RDSS use is here now.

Good luck!

Ted
