Just think of sitting on your new tablet in a peaceful library or barnes and noble, with no stomping.
you can start leaving a tip jar by the coffeepot? will he take the hint?
Do you give him a list of mandatory household tasks so he can contribute SOMETHING? even cleaning the bathrooms is a start.
OH, I saw the newest 7" Samsung galaxy tablets at Costco for $149.00 they were quite nice, like a BIG phone, very thin and light for your purse.
