I would think a form is a form, regardless of platform.
Dunno about iPads, but I tried to use one of the Windows touchscreen computers when I was at Best Buy, a couple weeks back--I think it was an HP `TouchSmart'..., and all I can remember about the experience is that it was something that I didn't want to remember. > (I've only used an iPad once briefly, in a store.

I have to admit that I haven't been paying much attention to the iPad-- there are too many things that are actually new or interesting (or both!) on the market, competing for attention ;) -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
