Uh...Robert, I'm in that demographic and I'll thank you kindly not to generalize that all Baby Boomers want dedicated devices instead of multi-function devices. Geeks grow old too and we want the latest and greatest even though we're often lumped together with the Luddites of our age.

Personally, I can't wait for the Apple Netbook and think it will be the convergence device to settle my craving for an ebook reader, recliner web-surfer, and garage media center.


I'm hoping CRAVE is correct on their Apple rumor.
