I have a Kindle, that I quite like and having just bought a new motorbike, getting another expensive pressie to myself might just get SWMBO back right up. Still though,... -- Gavin.

See, Im just sat here right now in the conservatory with the MacBook on my lap, reading this and a couple of other groups, checking email, and glancing as the odd twitter feed entry pops up, and it strikes me that a iPad will do all this for me and more. The MB gives me about 3 hours or battery doing this, the iPad will do it all night long (and more) This isnt going to turn out well, espescially as i am an my 2nd Fursty Ferret [1].
