Very true. It's nice, though, that these days we have the choice - the "open the box and switch it on" iPad, or the self-build PC route. Everyone can be happy. I could give my 80-year-old parents and iPad an show them how to buy books wirelessly through the iBooks store. They have no interest whatsoever in learning how to use a PC.
