    Anyone else noticing some odd SP behavior of late?

    Well, I have had all kinds of website lock up since the last update. It is not SAYING limited connectivity, but it works the same. Started IMMEDIATELY after the most recent updates were applied. Same problem occurred at both my kids house, where my SP never had the LC problem, and my house...

    Surface Screen Angle

    I voted no. The SP is a lap-travel computer for me. I use it primarily on the couch in a bright sunny room with the afternoon light coming over my shoulder. The fixed angle gives a long period where glare is an issue and a longer one for fingerprints. I designed a fix to the kickstand's lap...

    Surface Screen Angle

    I think everybody with a Surface should get a Prop n Go Slim lap desk, got mine from Amazon. Not only is it great for couch surfing, it gives you a whole bunch of angles. I've used the easel one time. If I was desk bound, I might think differently. I really don't understand the design...

    Where's the best place to buy the Surface Pro?

    You need a Live acct and they can set it up there. Don't go mid afternoon Sat or Sun, or you may get minimal free service.

    Does zoom size matter?

    I'm having an issue with popup Windows which I suspect maybe some combination of magnification and font. I get empty windows clipboard popup in popup - no copy or paste just empty box. I mainly see it in Gmail new compose, but have seen it in something else. Be interested in knowledgeable...

    Where's the best place to buy the Surface Pro?

    Microsoft store. The setup and half hour of instruction was worth at least 4 hours of my time. I've got 3 friends in the neighborhood with new Win 8 gadgets trying to figure some aspect of Live, email, setup and use, which I walked out of the store solved. Another got their box completely...

    MS KeyboardII/Dock discussion with pictures

    Vasculata has interesting posts with pictures, in the attaching the pen thread. I can't find a discussion anywhere else on the net, no to mention pictures. Isn't anybody else reading that, or am I just out of touch? Hoping that dock turns the SP into a laptop.

    Attaching the pen ... problem solved!

    For some reason, nobody seems to be commenting on your description of the prototype(?) KeyBoardII slide/dock/charger. I, personally am interested, and can't find anything else anywhere else, even your blog (although from your blog, it looks like apple has patented attaching the keyboard to the...

    I was able to connect my charger today in 1 try

    You can casually ask your wife where she keeps her diamond nail file, snag it and dull the edge slightly on the plug, and REPLACE THE NAIL FILE. Takes that 2-3 second technique above to one second.

    Any way to improve handwriting on Surface Pro?

    They put me in Special Ed in 3rd grad for poor cursive (that was (un) interesting - the only one there who could read). You could try that: Cursive Handwriting Practice for Windows Phone by Abécédaire - Ollapp.com

    Attaching the pen ... problem solved!

    Tony, You must have seen a lot more inventiveness and problem solving in ghettos than I have. Looks protypical geekish (not a bad thing) to me. p.s. I cobbled a solution together too, but mine is a little black silo attached to my porn n go slim lap desk. Now I would just buy the pen loop...

    Flipsteady case for the Pro?

    http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/microsoft/56460-flipsteady-case-cover-stand-surface-pro.html. Be nice to have a lappable case with type keyboard and a pen holder that doesn't keep the heat in.

    Microsoft Curve Mouse

    My SP is almost exclusively a couch, travel device. I use a Prop n Go Slim lap desk, which is beyond great on the couch, but I am not trying to keep papers with it, or use the Type keyboard much. It does fit on the prop n go, wedged upside down with the keyboard attached. I cut a foam wedge...

    Keyboard won't stay up.

    Touch paste doesn't seem to work in the Google GMAIL New Response pop up window either. Have to grab the mouse. Thanks Google. I hate it when one OS vendor decides to sabotage users of another vendor's os. Did something similar to my Kindle Fire 8.9. Reason there is no fruit in this house.

    Keyboard won't stay up.

    Sounds like Gmail new response bs. Open the charms bar - settings - touch keyboard. Google is really irritating me.

    Try this if you have Limited Connectivity issues

    Tony, Two of these "fixes" were, in fact from MS - the irritating ones. I guess I think there is a problem that the one that does something useful, disabling selective suspend, is not from MS. FWIW, I'm have a Kindle Fire 8.9 4G which had similar problems initially, now long gone. Amazon was...

    Try this if you have Limited Connectivity issues

    Yeah, trivial. I had a MS guy at the store tell me to delete the network and let it find it again and re enter the password... Every 5 minutes, although to be honest, since I found the disable Selective Suspend option, here, it has been only every few hours. Now I just go do something else for...
