   Oh dear... I just bought it on impulse. I hope it will run You-Tube   
   because that is what I bought it for mainly, also probably need   
   a PDF viewer. Hopefully some apps will support it still, that old eh?!   
   Next time I think I'll have to do some research before buying these   
   things. Well I'm glad the laptop I bought was quite old because it   
   still has a nice keyboard and built-in DVD.

   Okay, I'll look on the infernal net and see whether anyone has tried   
   doing that with a XOOM.

   A whole channel dedicated to Lady M, WOW, I'll have to download it today now.   
   My favourite song at the moment is "Time Stood Still - Extended Version"   
   she did that for the film "The Next Best Thing".

   Will that be fast enough ? Well, I'm getting the tablet next week so   
   I'll investigate it then. I actually have a 1Tb flash drive but it only   
   works on my latest laptop in Windows 10. Other than that only a 32Gb one.

   Okay, I'll see if I can run this... not tried any Windows NT batch   
   programming yet, I'd have to print off the help pages first really.
