Miss Meow is trying to help with my assignment by pressing the F1 key at random times. She has also managed a complete paragraph of ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

F1 is usually the help key, so maybe she is indeed!

She has so far looked up both how to use Chrome and how to use Word, so I'd say she's about as useful as the AI Copilot that Microsoft foisted on me that keeps popping up trying to help out every time I cut and paste. She is much cuter though.

TiMe To UpGrAdE tO lInUx!

Seriously though, I’m not sure whether to keep my (not quite so) old Surface Pro 4 on Windows 10 or use it as a Linux tablet.

I’m finding that tablets are much more practical with cats on the house, it is much more difficult for them to mash keys when there isn’t a keyboard.

My main problem with the tablet is Miss Meow using the corner as a face scratcher and switching programs on me. At the computer she has mostly learned to stay on her bed on the side of the desk, but she does still try and encroach over onto the keyboard just a little bit.
