>>>>Hi,

>>>I have a tablet that has 2gig of RAM that I use VFP on sometimes - Windows 10 Pro. It works just fine - but the whole machine can be slow if you have a bunch of apps open. I even have a tiny tiny tiny tablet that fits in a shirt pocket that was 1 gig of RAM with Windows 10 Pro and even that works - but if you have more than a couple of apps open that thing gets quite slow....

>>Thank you. What tablet, if you don't mind my asking, you have? What size?

>..obviously with a whopping 1gig of RAM and a blazing 1.33ghz Atom processor its not exactly a fast machine - but the thing sure is handy because of it's tiny size and the fact that it accepts a SIM card is sweet because it gives you internet if there is no wifi AND you can use the thing as a phone too. This is my 'beach' computer - the one I take to the beach - and if I'm going to go out at night I'll take it with me sometimes if I think I'll need a PC for some reason. I have used it as a GPS too. I really which there was something identical in size to this thing that had more memory and faster CPU - but thus far I've never been able to find anything else like that.

Thank you. I didn't know there are beaches in Hawaii. Seriously, though, I didn't realize that manufacturers, other than MS, install Windows OS.
