My son was required to purchase and use one at his University. They are completely miserable machines, to say the least, and we have since had to buy a new one. Hard drive crashed, motherboard overheated daily, to name a few of the problems. Has anyone ever heard of/worked with Tangent computers before?
Has anyone ever heard of Tangent Laptops?

What?
Wow, what university is that?
And yes, its a terrible laptop. I do know that the University of Dayton, Ohio installed them in the dorms in 2000 for the freshmen. I cant imagine anyone liked having them though. Even an E-machine would be better than that brand. Tangents are usually incapable of running any graphics, or even a movie decently.
The usual thing schools do with Tangents is to put them in a class room. Its where where they wont be called on for more than an Excel or Word assignment. Some medical centers use them for basic things also.
I almost never push a product down like this. But this time, yeah....junk. I hope you didn't have to pay too much.
Out of curiosity, why did he have to have a Tangent, school nuttiness? I mean, my college is a mad house of trouble, but nothing like that, a required brand of laptop???
