ewxOn this computer, if I type “www.” in the address bar, it completes to www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/spoolstats. My laptop prefers www.ocado.com, computers that I can take into the kitchen being better for online groceries than computers that (checks…) I cannot lift with one hand. Actually it seems like the kind of task that a tablet computer might be good for, but not enough so to justify the cost.
What do you get?

It's also hackable - I have bodhri Linux running as a second operating system on it. It also works nicely as a uPnP/DLNA player to keep the kids busy by streaming cartoons from the network drive (and can play them out to the TV too through the HDMI port).
It turned out to be a lot more useful than I though it would.

Date: 2012-01-20 10:16 am (UTC)I still type the "http://" when entering URLs, which, at that point, completes to http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ too. However, stopping short of the final slash gives me pages I'm working on on the desktop and LJ on the laptop.

Date: 2012-01-20 11:00 am (UTC)It's not clear to me why, because the URL (which I do normally type in manually) works without the www. Perhaps it didn't used to, and I got into the habit? I rarely type in www, and get mildly put out by sites that require you to do so.
