I am interested that people really do use iPads. How do you use them?
Everyone I know who bought one says its just a toy. As I have a Android
smart phone and a Apple laptop, it seems excess to needs. I am interested in
a Kindle, or a good eBook reader, but they are not supported where I live,
so that can wait.

I much prefer Apple computers too, but have to use Windows as well. Unix is
much too geeky for me as well-- too many variants. The choice of either
making Steve Jobs or Bill Gates richer is not appealing, but that's the way
its become. I'd forgotten who Brittany Spears was!
