Yes the Samsung Galaxy tablet does have its limitations, stemming in
part from the fact that Android is not really open source.  I continue
to use an email client (Icedove) instead of web based e-mail; so when
I am travelling I am forced to use Gmail and after return from a trip
I have download to my email client all emails sent and received while
away.  Also while away I cannot have access to my email archives.  On
the other hand the tablet is much lighter than a laptop, a big plus
when travelling.

As for Windows, my freedom from Microsoft contamination dates from 28
July 2004; since then is has been Debian all the way.  Because of
security and privacy concerns I do not use any social networking
sites, especially Facebook.
