[gui-talk] I Pad question

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

My personal opinions:

For word processing you are still better off with a PC running Windows, 
Linux or OS/X.  I'm sure you can do plenty of writing, especially informal 
writing like e-mail, on an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, but you will probably 
want an external Bluetooth keyboard if you are doing much writing.  Of 
course you can use Siri, but then you might want to edit what it recognized. 
I think that in a few more years Windows will be on its way out, but we 
haven't quite reached that point yet.

For web surfing, media playback, and many other "read-only" activities, I 
would see little disadvantage to using an iDevice.

Subject: [gui-talk] I Pad question

Have been a Windows based computer user for many many years Mostly for
word processing and web surfing.
Is the Apple I Pad a viable product to use for my applications?  IF so
which model and memory level would you suggest.
Thanks for any input.
