I finally got off of my butt and ordered 20 years worth of the Digital Archives of GameRoom Magazine on DVD. (highly recommended, BTW).

Hey that sounds like a really good idea.... is there a buy all for a bundled price, or is it a buck an issue for each?

$99 for all 20 years.

I played with an ipad briefly over the wkend...
my impression is.... it is a oversize iphone, without the phone and the camera.
overall, I'm not impressed... pure personal opinion...
(I guess I want a little more out of it....)
my friend got it for his mom... so that she can just one click and check email, do some web surfing... and nothing much... but then, it's more fool proof than a laptop...
its pretty nice, but functionality-wise, not my cup of tea.

I was an expert witness in a mock trial last Saturday and so I was sitting in the courtroom for a couple hours playing with my friend's iPad. There are some things it doesn't do that it absolutely should do. And I have philosophical issues with some of Apple's business practices, particularly with the iPad, that make me sort of disinclined to give them my money. But it's a pretty cool device that works well and has a gajillion uses. And I'm talking about actual I-would-use-this-daily type uses. Considering that every tablet that has come before has approximately no usefulness whatsoever in the average person's daily life . . . well, I think that's gotta count for something. I mean, the thing is deeply flawed. And there are legit reasons to hate on Apple (though most Apple-hating has nothing to do with those reasons). But this device is probably best in class at this point.

Why is this tablet so useful while others have not been?
shmokes:
First, because operating the OS and applications with a stylus is not very pleasant. The iPad's touch interface works much better aside from actual writing, and for the most part nobody wants to write on a computer . . . that's what keyboards are for.
Second, because 99% of applications that run on Tablet PC were designed with a keyboard and mouse in mind. 100% of the applications on the iPad were designed with the touch interface in mind.
