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.
