And to think it was only 10 years ago that I bought my first computer and went online LMBO the one before that was so basic, the kids only used it for school work LOL
Cell phones, and now we are up to these!!! Amazing :D:D:D

I'm a pc but that looks pretty cool. Wonder how much they will cost? Pretty much the only reason I haven't had an apple is they always cost more than I have to spend.

I think it's cool too, but how come all my Apple stock dropped after this announcement? My first computer was an Apple. I think it cost as much as my first car! We've come a long way, baby!

I'm PC but my kids are MAC and I am certainly Mac-envious! Wish I hadn't bought my netbook a few weeks ago!

We run both in the house, the kids all use Mac at school, they tend to run a bit more, but I have had way less issues with the mac, the only reason I have a microsoft windows is that my embroidery and dear jane software only run on windows.

When the Ipad info leaked, people hoped it was a ruse for something cool. It's being referred to as a "giant Ipod." In a world where smaller is better, and pre-existing is outdated, giant Ipod is an insult. And, the net is also making plenty of sanitary napkin jokes. What do you expect from a world where Nintendo's Wi is ripe for joshing as well. Ipad is a disappointment due to elevated expectations.

to all your computer savvy people out there..i have a question..we have a windows computer that we are having problems with. My question is we have been thinking of getting a Mac..what are the pros and cons? we have always had windows so would it be difficult to learn to use the Mac? Would there be problems say if I am sending an email from a Mac to a Windows computer?
