[TriLUG] mostly OT: movies on the go?

[Robert Dale via TriLUG]

2 tablets + 2 sets headphones = happy parents

The tablet is a wonderful multi-purpose device. Not only does it go
where you go for other boring activities (eg. sitting at the <insert
adult function> for 2 hours), but the movies can be more personalized
- my kids are slightly further apart and have different movie
interests - and they can have their ereaders (modern version of
books), music, games, and apps; not everyone likes just watching
movies for hours on end.  And for those with time constraints, the
table is done. It's ready to go.
