I'm thinking there is going to be a merger/buyout of ABC/Disney at some point.

Don't think it's too likely in the near future though. They now have the S4 Play Edition so I'm not sure that Samsung will be ditching andoid any time soon. I think they could make a go at it but without the Play ecosystem they'd basically be back to square one and be back with BlackBerry and Windows Phone for apps.

You can still install via floppies... In fact looking at the FAQ page it looks like they haven't changed anything in the 16 years since my first install of Slackware. You can install through serial if your heart so desires.

Or do you just have a dedicated tablet that never leaves the viewing area? What about multiple TVs? Gets expensive really quick.

How long does that take? I have a netted chair at work that I've been using for 2+ years and haven't experienced any problems that you describe and haven't heard anyone else complain at the office. I think you might just have had some bad chairs?
