$50 Tablet

Sounds like expensive aspirins
No , at an outlet store , I saw a Polaroid brand 7" tablet for $ 50 dual core and dual camera ,Wifi
To check I went on line and found a review of bargain tablets , maybe 12 different ones
The tablets all work..... but most have inbred security problems
Some have security features by - passed by a factory installed system
The tablets were rated from ' untrustworthy ' to ' semi OK ' for security.
Another site said the cheaper tablets were fine for games and other apps but not banking or financial concerns
As if FaceBook didn't put you at risk to start

At this rate , crappy little e- machine is starting to look good

Weather broke cool to cold and warmed a tad
the sun burst out and hung around all day

The story that I'm writing :

This is a time a relative peace in the Pa Dema. Its been ten years or so since the uprising by the Crusader States , comprised of 4 duchies usually bent on pushing their boundaries out. The loose coalition that faced the Crusader States had  the Jarome of Motaine and his heavy horse in the middle. A brief and uninspired charge by the Crusader States fell apart quickly.
In suing for terms , the Crusader States gave 100 000 gold pech as security and agreed to the previous delineation of territory. The security gold was given to the Chami of Ghenali , hereditary ruler and mage. The Chami specialized in transformation magic and the Crusader States faced the prospect of hauling dray loads of hay or bricks home hoping to find it was their gold. Benign maybe , but fairly efficient.
The Jarome that day of battle was backed by the mounted archers of his liegeman , The Lamberchel. Lamberchel , Dog of War , for the Jarome. That first charge of Crusaders met 200 arrows fired for effect and fired flat and hard. Those arrows found crevices and niches in armour. Not many dead but enough wounded to deter any further thought of attack.
As well , the heavy horse stood ready and The Lamberchel had unsheathed his ax. Either was formidable , to - gether , well , safer to ground lances and sue for terms.
