- meifun parentMany thanks
- 14 inches is fine for me the smaller the better. Thanks you for a detailed reply and the link. This laptop looks like it could be good for me.
I think I found it on Costco.com for cheaper: https://www.costco.com/p/-/acer-aspire-14-ai-copilot-pc-touc...

- I owned a Remarkable 2 and sold it when the Remarkable Paper Pro came out. I now own a Remarkable Paper Pro and a Remarkable Paper Pro Move. I use them for deep work and it really helps me with distractions. I leave the Paper Pro at home and I carry the Paper Pro Move as part of my every day carry.
The one feature I miss is being able to have a split screen so that I could have a document open and be writing in another document. Something like note taking from a book. To overcome this now I have documents open on my laptop to reference as I am writing on the Remarkable.
- I had am RM2 for years before upgrading to the Paper Pro. I love the Paper Pro. It provides me with an environment of deep thinking. It feels too big to carry all day long and I always felt even with the Type Folio I didn't want to damage the screen. I just ordered a Paper Pro Move to carry with me.
The one feature I miss is the ability to split the screen and have two items open at the same time. Like a PDF journal in one and taking notes on it in the other.
- I can totally relate.
We had a Corvus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvus_Systems) and I managed to call them and pretended to have trouble with out system and they asked no questions. Ended up sending a manual to the school and I just watched out for it in the Librarians mail slot.
Then I formatted the Corvus after copying the various software packages I wanted to use on my Apple IIe.
- This movie helped me:
1. Relate to a blind student in our school when they could hear things differently than the rest of us.
2. Realize that social engineering is thing and I tried to practice it in high school to gain access to computer rooms where the "fancy" computers were.
3. Realize that a government can steal or in general can be sneaky/secretive.

- My dad used to bring me home the Gazette with a box of powdered doughnuts and chocolate milk.
I was 10.
I’d spend the whole weekend typing in all the code and trying to get it to run on our Commodore 64. If it was dinner time, he would bring me a plate and leave me be. I’d be so excited when everything worked and I could show it off to him.
It is the best memory I have of my father.
Thank you dad.
- "The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan" By: Robert Kanigel
A biography of one of the most innovative mathematicians of all time traces the rise of Srinivasa Ramanujan from his days as a clerk to his collaboration with one of England's greatest mathematicians
There is also a movie with this same name. It was good, IMHO.
- I'd agree here. As a trans parent I have worried about what living an often non-socially acceptable lifestyle would do to them. But then I see the acceptance as my daughter proudly introduces me as her "mama" to her whole class. I'm a better parent alive living my truth than I am an "unalived" parent leaving a gap for those that loved me for me.
