During the recent family's visit, an iPad came to stay temporarily with us. It ran on a foreign-to-us operating system, and though I assured its owner that it could access our network, I wasn't absolutely positive about it.
Imagine my relief when, after providing the iPad owner with a password, his iPad spoke to our network, shook hands, and moved in. Not only that, it remembered the way in and could access the 'net whenever it was asked to do that.
One of the best features about the iPad was the pictures that resided on it. Wonderful resolution and detail plus all the fun of the touchscreen: enlarging and minimizing, scrolling and changing orientation by tilting the screen sideways.
Of course, BigEd disappeared into the chess program and played, uh, forever.
It was like having a new baby to pass around. Its feet never touched the ground . . .

Ah, to have a friend with an iPad. I clearly need richer friends!

My Doctor's office - I'm sitting with the new ARNP and she's about to review my perscriptions - and she pulls out her IPod to get some information files on various medications. Side effects, dosages - like those kinds of files. What ever happened to carrying a clipboard!
We air dinosaurs. Alla usns.
Doesn't it give you techno shock as apposed to culture shock.
