No Sword, you can play your game. I showed you the thread. It was a thread you posted on. You can run but you cannot hide.

I've made the challenge... you have failed to show us an insult on that thread. I have offered to apologize if you can prove what I called you a liar for was not a lie... So show me. Don't avoid it. I am not running. I keep the Mac Ping List... and you WILL find me on every Mac thread. I can't run. I again repeat YOU are the troll here. YOU are the one throwing insults around. Show us the insults from Mac users to Windows users... Show us the vile name calling... Show us the slurs... show us the Bigotry... YOU MADE THE ASSERTION, PROVE IT!

However, I have been observed to toss whatever is in my hand, draw -- and fire from mid-air -- when "Mr 'Buzztail'" sounds off and pokes his head up near my feet. I doubt that even a tablet that could be used for a drink tray would respond well to that!

Sounds to me like you need a iPad case on a chain short enough not to hit the ground ala a biker's wallet...

I’ve proven it before Sword, I’ve shown it to you. I’ve even shown you the posts you made on the threads. You laugh about it, you thrown snide remarks, you push your propaganda. Get over yourself and get some integrity.

DO IT AGAIN... You claim this... I do not agree that you have. PROVE THE INSULTS... where are they on that link you just provided. I went through it. I see an Apple logo. Where are the insults to Windows users from Mac users. YOU CLAIM THEY ARE THERE SHOW US.

Show me where I called you a liar... and it wasn't a lie. Quit avoiding it. Again, you are the one throwing brick bats in Apple threads... and you justify your behavior by repeatedly claiming that WE do it in Windows threads. I have challenged you repeatedly to prove it. YOU HAVE FAILED TO PROVIDE PROOF. DO IT. Just because you claim you have is not proof. SHOW US AN INSULT. Link to it. PROVE YOUR ASSERTION!

I believe I may have called you a liar about this very thing... I might do it again if you keep it up.

Same tactics all the time swordmaker. I’ve proven it before and am done with you. I’ve provided proof. You pretend not to have seen it but thats because you have no integrity.

“What this shows is that for 60 per cent of the cost of a fully loaded, premium Apple Macbook Pro laptop you can purchase a cut down Apple Ipad tablet device”

What this shows is the author doesn’t see the difference between a six-pound brick and a sheet of paper.

I’ve been using an iPad Nano (aka iPod Touch) heavily for a couple years. Some of us do see the point of tablets.

Exactly: this product is for some people, not all. Those decrying it not being something else should that instead.

I would love a tablet computer for a particular business application. They just don’t have enough functionality or power. But hey, if it works for you then great.

It is not for me at this time. I'll take another look when version 2 comes out..

I don’t own an Airbook, but from the professors I have spoken with who do feel the CPU is underpowered. Maybe they are expecting more out of than is reasonable (entirely possible). However, it’s anecdotal.

Truly, I do not like the Apple OS, but I was commenting on opinions I’ve heard from the Macintosh COI I communicate with monthly.
