Okay, 'fess up: You keep pulling your Tablet PC out of its case and looking at it, don't you? It's neat, it's slick, and it's like no other computer you've ever used. Even the convertible models, which bear a striking resemblance to garden-variety laptops, are special. There are buttons you've never seen before, that touchable screen, perhaps a little slot for your pen to slip into. How could you not want to haul it out and show it off?

That's why I decided it's worth a chapter to let you linger over that hardware, and discover a bit more about the pen, the display, and the Tablet buttons surrounding your computer screen. In addition, I even throw in some advice about how to keep your new baby safe from damage and itchy-fingered Tablet PC stalkers.
