Yep, and I am one of them! LOL I am all for a healthy discussion of pros and cons, but some folks are just downright hateful in their remarks! Ah, if we all just lived in a perfect world..........
Speaking of iPad, I just got done reading through the past two issues of Nat Geo in the Zinio app. There's no comparable product out there to match for the experience of a color magazine in my humble opinion.

I took advantage of the "sale" going on at Apple.com and gifted a 16GB wi fi First Gen iPad to my daughter. She is so excited! The sale says they are refurbished but her unit is coming from China so I expected it's a brand new unit and they are selling off stock. I can't imagine that Apple would send previously sold units back to China for revamping but who knows, and more importantly, who cares. "Refurbished" units get a brand new battery, back covers, and the full one year warranty. $350 is a great price to get into the tablet market with the #1 product. Now she will have to set limits on her 4 y.o. son. He loves mine and it was a great tool while we were on a six hour car trip recently. She has already started downloading apps to her computer and has a cover picked out. They are both going to love it!
