It seems that the TC1100 tablet I retired last year still has some work left in it. When I reported the move to the HP Touchsmart TX2 from the Tc1100 here I thought that the unit would spend its days being used by the kids – who seem to find the form factor of the TC1100 (with the keyboard removed) better than the TX2 !! It was a chance search on ebay for some other kit that lead me to the acquisition of a docking bay for the TC1100. The bay was second hand from that well known auction site Ebay and once it arrived took all of 5 minutes to unpack and press into action. The best point was the autoadjustment when the dock itself was turned into landscape mode.
The TC1100 is now back at work – in a limited space environment – acting as a workstation to access and manage virtual servers – and soon to be part of a stock control system – taking up a minimal amount of space but providing a very useful function. The best bit is that it is still easily used as a tablet by just lifting out of the docking unit.
So reuse – reduce – recycle ? or just a good tool continuing to serve ?
Keep taking the Tablets »« First Windows 7 64 BIT casualties
First two things broken by the upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista 64 BIT.
1) Windows Yammer client – removing and reinstalling for that
2) Vmware vsphere client and the well known windows 7 issues with earlier clients here
Did some checking and the latest client 4.0.0 build 208111 from www.vmware.com will solve the problem without resorting to the changes which previously allowed workaround.
Works a treat on 64 BIT
PS
For specifics on the issues with the Vsphere client and windows 7 see VMWARE KB INFO
