Last weekend the TouchPad accompanied the wife and me to Boston's Symphony Hall for the Handel and Haydn Society performance of Handel's Messiah.

The TP wasn't just along for the ride, it was there to work!
Based on past visits to Symphony Hall -- for the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops -- I knew it can be difficult in the half-light of the hall to read and follow the goings on via the program booklet.
My first thought was to go out and download the program from the H&H Society website for use on the TouchPad.
Alas, this was not to be. The H&H does not have downloadable programs on its site. What they do is post the program on the website of a service (that will go unnamed here) which is a poor choice for navigation and reading on a PC web browser, nevermind how it reads/navigates in a tablet-based browser.

The solution (see TP screen cap above) was to download and print to PDF the libretto of Messiah from one of a number of places it is available on the web.
Thus armed, we journeyed to Symphony Hall and I managed to stay awake during the two hour and forty-five minute performance!
