I'm a woodworker and read the trade magazines. We need the pictures in the how to explanation of procedures and furniture plans. So far there is no portable solution other than tablet computers. Those that exist are big and bulky and frankly, quite fragile and expensive. (the iPad is half those prices)

And in the same sense there are other devices that are also very well suited for reading off of. Maybe not AS well, but close enough. Just see the other devices forum. And more devices are likely to come in the near future.

Actually I love Mac computers. I still have, and occasionally use my Performa 5215CD. These days I use Windows,
reluctantly, only because that's where most of the software support is. What I hate, or at least dislike, is the culture that has developed around Apple in recent years. I'm sorry, but I feel like there is just this aura of arrogance surrounding the fandom. Like iProducts should automatically be held in a much higher regard.
And as I said, Apple users already have a forum on this site. What is the problem with renaming this one so it encompasses the iPad too?
