Sorry, Bill. I know not a single person who is unhappy or confused about their iPad. It is a tremendous device. I do recognize it is not a replacement for a lap top, but it has many uses.


Having been anti apple for as long as I can remember (pro windows) I was amazed when given a ipad gen2.. I can do just about anything on this thing. Even login remotely to my home workstation if need be. I have way more cloud storage than I will ever likely need.

Just for kicks, I once used apples cloud backup service. I then reset this thing, clearing everything. I then restored everything from the cloud backup. It restored EVERYTHING!! Including usernames and passwords. I never had to do anything. I was floored.

Would I buy another one if I had to replace it? Hard to say, but you will never hear me bad mouth apple again. This thing is just awesome.

Yeah, I was no Apple fan, but for the same reasons, I mostly have bought in. I have not gone from PC to Mac...yet, but will consider it some day. That is a much bigger switch, with all new software, etc. Still not convinced the Macs are worth the money vs. PCs, either, but I am open to it. Also interested to see how much the other tablets catch up. I think the Surface and others have really advanced since the early android attempts. It is definitely going to be a competitive market for tablets, and Apple is going to have do some more innovation to protect their current advantage.

As others said here, the Surface is a much better productivity tool, and from a business perspective, I can’t wait to be able to travel with only a tablet. I can’t do that with an iPad.
