    I'm still technologically challenged. I don't even have a Iphone or similar type. I'm typing this out on a surplus 80's computer I got at an auction. Takes up half the basement.

    Does it run on 5.25 floppys?

    I have an iPhone so I hadn't gotten a iPad, I couldn't rationalize it.

    But I finally gave in.

    Thanks!

    I'm excited. I rationalized it for the e-reader. HA.


    On a totally separate note, Looks like our most recent "good bye" person isn't really leaving.


    saw that....though now he's apparently ignoring a bunch of people...and a mod he'd like to ignore...:dunno:...if ya don't wanna read someone's posts, just don't read them :rolleyes:

    Oh man, I remember playing Oregon Trail on floppy disc. That was high technology!

    I bought a net book a while back. Can't really say I need something else yet. Want, is a different story...

    I use the netbook at work and when I want to sit on the couch. I have a regular laptop.

    I've tried to justify buying an iPad many times, I just can't do it.

    I have a laptop and an iPhone...What would I need an iPad for(This isn't a rhetorical question, I'm actually asking)?

    Yeah, I am in the same boat, and this is the very reason I hadn't bought one before.

    But I was going to buy an e-reader anyway (kindle/nook) for all the books i have to read for school. So I figured that price in, and then figured if I was going to spend that anyway, might as well get the one that has all the other fun apps.
    :dunno:

    Do I need it, not really... But it'll be nice for watching movies in the car or on long trips, plus a few various other things.

    Same here. Maybe I'll save for that after I get a G19. I thought about getting the first gen iPad for like $350-400, but I still couldn't justify it.:dunno:

    I hear you, especially if you need a Kindle anyway...Having a TV is also nice, but I have one built into my dashboard, so that is just one more reason as to why I DON'T need one.

    Maybe if the iPad 1s start selling for really cheap I'll get one.

    Truthfully you don't, I love my iPad but if I would have never bought myself one, mine was a gift
