Now persuade me that's a tenth of what a netbook can do. List 13.5 more things a Netbook can do. It's OK if an iPad can do them, since you've already listed the one-tenth it can't do. -- Wes Groleau Worksheet for “Central American Migrants” Video http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/russell?itemid=1009

Of course I admit I haven't tried _all_ of them, but so far, the one that sucks the least is Motion Computing. I'd like to try Modbook and iPad. Given Apple's history, those are the best chances of one that finally doesn't suck. -- Wes Groleau Fuggedaboudit ! http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/WWW?itemid=91

The only complaining I ever did about multi-tasking was the failure of both Windows _and_ Mac OS to prevent applications from pretending they are the center of the universe and opening windows in front of the app that is actually in use. And Apple finally fixed that problem. Has M$ copied that fix yet? (XP still has the problem.) -- Wes Groleau Lesson plans and activities Feb. 23-27 http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/barrett?itemid=1372
