I've been a PC person ever since I first touched a computer keyboard. I started using PC when I was 28 years old. I'm now 58 ... what? 30 years ... oh my .. am I getting old!

OK, I really like this I-pad. Its very portable, works great for WiFi with my I-phone, and have issues with it ... except ... I can't do ANYTHING with it except down load "apps" and anything I really want to keep has to go through the "cloud" and down-loaded ... you guessed it .... back on my original lap-top that gave me fits.
So, the Apple is Great for web based "stuff". But if you need business applications, like Word Processors, print capability, Spreadsheets, Power Point type presentations, photo sharing, pulling things off your digital camera .... forget it! It won't happen with an Apple.
We have Apples in our Web Lab at work. I'm a software tester and we have to test on different browsers. Apple is good, but ... you can't do anything with it... By the way ... no downloads, no BS, no junk, no unwanted pop-ups, nothing like that. For using the Internet ... I love it. For everything else, I still use my old PC driven laptop.
