Wow, it's great to see that I'm not the only older person that is excited about the iPad. I spent 34 years supporting various platforms and networks during my working life and the older I got the more I tried to simplify things. Whenever someone would come to me looking for a solution, they would want all kinds of complicated, involved solutions. I would always come up with the easiest, simplest solutions. That is why I switched to Macs after I retired. Just for the simplicity and that is why I like the iPad (and iPhones). They are simple and easy to use. Yes, they may not have every bell and whistle that other devices might have, but I don't care. I want something the turns on fast, does what I want in an easy fashion and works like it is supposed to. And if it doesn't have Flash, multi-tasking or a camera, I really don't care. I have shopped around a lot and seriously thought about getting a Toshiba T135 laptop, but just as soon as I started playing with one and it had to download the latest virus updates before it would let me do anything; I said no way would I ever go back to Windows.
