It has nothing to do with Sheree being Afriad to go against you, it has to do with these people (Girlfriends, Family etc...) come to us for tech advice, so they probably won't go out and buy something techy without consulting us, am I wrong? Its not a jab at Sheree's independence, its that she, like Laurie and probably Liz have overheard something we have said and it will stick because we "know" about this stuff. Just like I have heard thatThe Blue Menu crap at the grocery store is better for you... why I have no idea, but its implanted in my head, so that MAY manipulate my purchase choices.

And Since Jason took the Questions so seriously...

Nancy: I think the iPad is better. We got her the iPod so she could web surf, listen to music, watch movies and email while working. Well that back fired cause she never used it. So I think with a bigger screen but the same interface would help cause its easier to do all those thing and she doesn't have to learn to use a computer since she seems so against it.

Mommy: She does love to type, but I know she sits at a desk so many hours a day, that even with a laptop (which she has) she won't be writing this Novel she dreams of. She would much rather spend her time off, laying on the couch with a book. Now if that book was the iPad then I think she would actually use the web stuff, because she could stay on the couch and pick away at stuff. Then when she got the urge to type she could go wit at a desk with a keyboard. But we all know sitting back on a couch with a laptop is not easy to do.

Daddy: Yes Desktop all the way. He would like the COOL aspect of the iPad, but in the end my dad is someone that needs a million things going on, be it audio/video from a soccer game while doing income taxes, or clicking back forth between web sites. And a laptop is still to cumbersome to use for the inexperienced.

Dean Wrap this up since these guys can't take some debating in their lives. This is where I wish we had a comment system cause we're getting many guest viewers.
