Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is installed on HAMMERHEAD
RT pen tablet computers at the factory and registered to you. If you have
a touch unit, Microsoft Windows XP Pro is installed, along with
Calligrapher handwriting recognizer, PenOffice control program and My-
T-Pen onscreen keyboard program. WalkAbout Computers often pre-
installs application software for its customers. In most cases user
access to operating systems or other software is restricted.
Save the HAMMERHEAD RT packaging; it might be needed for possible
return shipments. The serial number will be on the box and on the bar
