I feel like buying an ipad

Post by Red Squirrel »

... And iPad killer, that is.

I lol at all the hype the ipad is getting, it's not like it's the first of it's kind, and it lacks lot of basic functionality. First off, it's not even a real PC, it's a locked in OS that is limited.

The thing I linked to is actually a PC. You can install any OS you want on it, and use the programs you'd normally use. I think that would be cool for playing evony tbh. :P

Whats wrong with a regular laptop that kills both if you need that kinda power :blink:

why whats wrong with the tower i have 4 of them here i use them with all kinds of power left over?

:awesome:

i'll do what that guy on tv does. i'll buy a batterie pack for this old power back up. put a strap on it and a strap on the monitor and the keyboard and the mouse and the tower. ain't any more weight then i use to carry in the millitary. and i'll walk around with my mobile tower unit using this wireless air card from sprint to get online.

sounds like a deal to me.

:banana:


i wonder how many stares the guy carrying the old desktop phone around on tv gets?

maybe i would get more then him and set a world record for the " Look at that i d 10 t " stares.

:stir the pot: :roflmao2:
