I’ve got this friend… who basically drives me crazy

He's really nice though! If you want a nice, friendly, attractive guy, he's totally it. However, you should know that he will never hold down a "real" job. I'm just trying to let you know what you're getting in to. You see, multi-tasking is just not his thing. For some folks, that's okay. "No big deal!" they say  For me, it's just not going to cut it.

iPad Verdict

My time with the iPad is drawing to a close. It's been a good run, but we weren't meant for each other. It's time for us to see other people/devices. Also, I'm pretty sure that the library staff wants their iPad back so that other people can check it out. Therefore, these are my closing thoughts on the device.

It’s like that guy at the party that everyone loves. No substance, but TONS of charisma.

Here we are at hour 59 since they gave me Donovan, and I have to say he definitely has his role. (What? I name things. It gives them character. And personality. Besides, I just cannot continue to use the label "iPad'. It gives me the creeps every time I even think it.)

The iPad has a place in this world, sort of…

Well, one of the things that I've heard most about the iPad is that people expect it to replace a Netbook as a computer-on-the-go. I'm currently on a lengthy bus ride to Atlanta so, for once, my ability to be productive is not so much an issue of efficiency.
