You are so correct! I need to stop thinking of computers in a pre-internet way - i.e., a computer is a computer if it runs all the applications I use on it. Nowadays, with so many applications freely available online, one could really use an internet tablet for just about everything as long as there is a (fast) reliable internet connection. I, personally, am just not ready to make that jump....
