I do not want a stupid tablet.

I want a real computer.
__________________________________________________________

I have a tablet and a computer and like them both. BUT...for me the tablet is only good for reading/surfing...it surely is a pita to post w/ or write w/. No formatting and just basically a pain because it’s so slow to tap on letters vs typing I can do w/ a ‘real’ computer.

I use the tablet more when I’m being too lazy to get up and go to my laptop.

Re Windows vs Apple...as long a schools and businesses use Windows...that’s what most people will be comfortable with. WindowsXP was a great OS...but my company changed...slowly...over to Windows 7. There are just too many internal functions w/in our company that rely on a Windows based OS...can’t see how we would ever change OS.

Gosh only knows the productivity they lost when we went from blackberry to I phones. I’m surrounded by slow learners. Okay...I’m also one of those slow learners. Just wish they would quit improving the dang software. :)

A reason I hate Apple products is because of the total control Apple insists on having over the end user (owner).

I recently tried to send a jpg file from my Samsung Galaxy @4 to an Apple Tablet via Bluetooth. Keep in mind that jpg files are system neutral, meaning thy can be viewed on any OS.

The Apple tablet refused to accept the download and I later went and read they did this purposefully.

I cannot stand Apple and this is merely another reason why. There is absolutely no reason on earth why 2 devices should not be able to share jpg’s.
