ah, movies and the NFL—the only places you’ll see someone using a Microsoft Surface

@mathowie OMG So true.

Everyone else: “Yeah I’m good with my iPad.”

@Jayman16 all the players and staff call the iPad anyway
@mathowie Haha, don't forget studios Sony owns being the only ones that use Sony mobile phones.
@mathowie They're nice computers! I'm typing on one right now and my next laptop will probably be one too!
@mathowie One of our local TV stations was purchased NextStar and started showing MS Surfaces on air. However, the anchors still have their iPads as well.

@mathowie a buddy put Linux on one, I can't recall the model, and it seemed to run just fine.

I think he likes the irony or something.

They aren't that bad of a tablet

@mathowie By 'Surface' you mean the big table/TV things that the name originally (and occasionally still does) applied to?
@mathowie the hospital where I work offers them. there was a minute when they were popular but not so much these days
@mathowie I taught at a private school where they made the parents pay for every student to have a Surface. They were pissed.
