Yes! If you would, Let me tell you the tale of how my android saved my laptop.
I got bored of my windows 7 and decided to try out windows 8 Developer preview. It is a nice and sleek design, yet it has some major bugs. This I was expecting as it's a preview of whats to come. I became irritated when i tried to play some major games such as Combat Arms and Minecraft. Windows 8 wasn't compatible with alot of things because its so new. So I decided that I would try out Windows Vista, Big Mistake. Since it's so outdated I didnt have any of the drivers for Ethernet or WiFi. Luckily I had Driver Genius installed previously and it was stored in my .old folder. After scanning my system I ran into another problem, no internet to download the drivers. After a couple days of messing around and installing different operating systems I remembered about how there was an app on my android to tether my phone to my laptop via USB to give it mobile internet. I did connected it to my laptop, installed the latest drivers and now my computer is running faster than ever on windows Vista 64bit Home Premium Edition and it's faster then EVER!
If you've read all of that I thank you and as your reward, a cookie
