In nice weather, I go to the beach and update servers and do some work there. All I need is a terminal. Heck I can even do some programing via text editors :) Pun from another recent thread. But there is nothing like my big displays, and having several of them. I cannot even get by with just my laptop and its large screen. Its funny, either lots of big screens, or a small one on my phone. That said I could not live without my desktop and at times laptop. Love my phone, but it only goes so far. > I bought my iPad for reading books and such, but I have found its form > factor is very useful for reading long emails (esp HTML based) and > webpages.

Yes, and I have had some interest in getting a Kindle and I am not really a book reader. Though would likely be more so of one with that. Not sure if I will use a tablet. I find myself wiping the screen of my phone way to often. Scum builds up really quickly, us humans are very dirty :) That even with having a real keyboard on the phone and primarily using that, for anything beyond launching apps and making phone calls. -- William L.
