Teaching a class for Seagate in Colorado, with the _<A HREF="https://wikipedia.org/wiki/OQO">OQO_</A> model 02 (after the 01 suffered a frothy _<A HREF="2006%20Doused%20OQO.JPG.html">fate_</A>). _<A HREF="https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagate_Technology">Seagate_</A> was my busiest client: I taught 28 classes for the drive maker in multiple locations. This was also a private but local class. Out-of-town training stopped in mid 2007 for personal reasons (synopsis: having a life beat having a business) and wouldn't restart until late _<A HREF="2009%20Dublin%201.JPG.html">2009_</A>. I did multiple classes with the OQO this way. When paired with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and an HDMI or VGA projector, it could easily stand in for a full PC for teaching. It ran Windows, Python, the Internet, and everything needed to present a three-day class. A smartphone with casting might suffice today, but this was 2008, when the iPhone and Android were just getting started.
