[ale] how do i find cheap tablet with decent features

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi Justin,

I decided to load the jellybean keyboard from the Google play store.  I'm using it in split mode.  It's pretty cool.  Takes some getting used to.  Thanks for the tip.

By the way, when I hit reply to your message, it did not put ale in the return address.  You might want to check your settings.

Sincerely,

 Ron
