Mr. Finch's UMPC

 Johnny Winter..

Currently on the Paperwhite:

A couple of years ago, I purchased a Sony Vaio UX-380
ultra mobile personal computer.

When new, these UMPC's were incredibly expensive.

As part of my devious plot to rule the world,

i waited and bought a used, like new example, from Amazon, waaaay cheap.

Ultra mobile personal computers, UMPC's for short,

were considered the future of personal computing at one time.

Until, that is, the smart phone hit the early adopter, Japanese Schoolgirl market

and soon thereafter the entire world.

 Vaio UMPC's are outstanding, powerful and work great if you don't mind, as i don't, 

Vista as an operating system--and a 4 inch viewing screen.

Alas the rest of the world doesn't think as i do and these little Vaio UMPC's

are pretty much now collector items when you can find one.

This design remains so cool that Vaio UMPC's can be observed on odd occasions in film representing a futuristic small computer.

As shown here in a still photo from Terminator salvation:

 I dug out and set my UMPC up in it's charging/operating cradle next to my large laptop

and now can watch MST3K on the UMPC while i simultaneously prowl the web

 on the standard laptop.

My new set-up has more computing power than all of NASA

and the Strategic Air Command had from 1975 to 1995.

I am putting it to better use tho!

Too many jobs at home, and too little time right now.

Just doing the best I can.
