FWIW there ARE real tablets on the market, and have been for years, that are full-function PCs that run everything modern laptops and desktops can run--plus pen-centric stuff you can't even run on standard pcs. I do 90% of my day-to-day PC work on a 5 year old Motion M1400 tablet (complete with docking station, keyboard, mouse, extended desktop on 2nd monitor, and multiple usb hubs) and it's 1.1Ghz Pentium M/2GB memory is ancient compared to the multi-core models available now. -- Jud Dallas TX USA

Just for fun how many real people can you round up that even remotely agree with you? By agree with you I mean that are equally viscous Apple haters. I know you can get Larry and Mark and a few others but far less than 2,000,000. That pretty much leaves you pissing in the wind. Eh? |
