[AusNOG] [off-topic] MS Surface

[Chris Pollock]

PIPE has two, one of which I spent a fair bit of time on leading up to
AusNOG in 2009.  It seemed alright.  Some of it was super cool, other
bits, not so much.

The hardware was capable of some pretty great stuff but there wasn't a
lot of good software for it.
