many will not want to use the small, confining, midget computers no matter how powerful they become.

I'm one of them! I love my 21" screen and ergo-wave keyboard! I hate having to use a laptop; I have trouble with the small screen, and my hands are all scrunched together on the keyboard!

Hubby and I would love to find a SmartPhone that has large text, so that when the phone rings, we can see who is calling without having to put on our dang glasses!! They’ve gotten the clock down pat; we can see THAT without glasses, but the text showing phone calls is TINY!

That was IBM's model number convention.

Yes, but...

Section 5150 is a section of the California Welfare and Institutions Code which allows a qualified officer or clinician to involuntarily confine a person deemed to have a mental disorder that makes them a danger to him or her self, and/or others and/or gravely disabled.

...hence my comment!

And they do every day. Exxon shuts down for a month you’ll not have groceries on the shelf. Apple shuts down for a month and no one but a few poofters notices

Apparently IBM didn’t consult California on their model number conventions. Not gonna lose any sleep over it.

I understand quite well that they can’t come close to supplying the market. Shutting the refineries at Baton Rouge, and Baytown would bring this country to a very quick halt

It takes a lot more than a battery to operate that ipad. Without basic energy nothing works. Not even with your own personal I-generator

I’d not heard that before. I guess we need to come up with an all encompassing domestic energy program to ensure that such disruptions have minimal impact.
