I used to check on this blog everyday to see what people were writing and nothing. Now enter some techy device and all the geeks come out. Glad to see you guys are alive and well. Love reading the long winded technical posts but I have to admit, it was some great debate. Actually it was quite boring but I know you guys are passionate about it and I won't take that away from you.

I will end this debate once and for all. I agree with Nelson. Not for the sake of agreeing with him but for the following reason:

1) From what I am reading, expert geeks I know (Nelson, Ed and Jason) seem to believe that this device has it's pros and cons. Regardless of the multitasking this and kindle killer that (which for me means putting out a fire), the fact of the matter remains is that the majority of the population could care less. What they want is a cool device that looks nice and that is convenient.

2) The iPad is from what I see, a new technology that will allow us to have a screen that we can bring with us to a couch or in front of a nice gas fireplace and read, send emails, surf the web etc. Personally, I hate surfing on my phone and reading text cause it is way too small. A larger screen that I don't have to balance on my lap is very convenient.

3) In this day and age where everyone is very concerned with environmental waste, the iPad is in line with what the future brings, ebooks,emagazines, etc...

4) They will work on perfecting the technology and if this is what we are getting now, 5 years from now we will be living in a Star Trek world.

For all those reasons, I believe that the iPad and technology alike, will result in a revolution in the way we read, send emails, surf the web and see each other over the videophone. (Too late Nels, ACN is already in talks with Apple)

As for Sheree, Laurie, Liz, Tarra, and Tanya, we all know they could make their own decisions but when it comes to technology they do seek out our opinions and although they claim the final decision is theirs, most of the time it is based on what we say... I'm kidding! I could just picture their looks as they read this.

I hope everyone is happy now and they can finally get some rest!
