Nice one but would probably invoke the wrath of the mob who have renamed Christmas to "The Holiday Period".

It's always possible someone else got there first - the name "tablet PC" has been knocking around for quite a while.

I'm wasted as an engineer.
Advertising can pay exceptionally well but apparently you are finished/burned out by about 30-35. The one chap I know who did it bought a farm in the Dales and started a jam factory. The last time I saw him he was trying to stay small because he values his pint in the local after work, home life etc., but was putting it at risk by having the Roux Brothers as customers.
