See, that was the trouble, as I was watching Steve Jobs I had a
phone call and I missed the New York Times guys. I already get a
number of emails from them, since I like those sometimes odd
editorials and also the crazy tech guy, my good friend David Pogue.
Remember, I knew him before he was even married!!! And now three kids!
My God, how old can a person get -- 84 next month, are you all going
to record your voices and sing me a birthday song? And on top of
that : 60 yrs of marriage a few months later if we hold out that
long. They should have an apple event just for me as I even have
transformed the Apple store. The big table in front of the Genius Bar
was my idea. I used to demonstrate its necessity by sitting on these
kids' seats and then have the employees rescue me , that is, pull
me up.

Marta,
You are one precious soul, I love seeing what you are curious about
at your young age, it gives me hope.
YES, the New York Times APP (not the Safari Demo) showed that you
can certainly save your articles from the paper and then discard
the remainder. It was mentioned these could be uploaded to your
computer or left stored on the iPad. The New York times APP was so
much like the Sports Illustrated video on YouTube.

Now I am all for that, if I live long enough and can take
advantage of articles and papers.
Now please somebody tell me, can I store all kinds of files if I
want to keep an article for further reading or discussion. How is
that? Could i at least send it up into the cloud if I kept it?
Could I archive it? And my fingers are so stiff and have no
feeling, how will I ever manage that? I already did away with all
my subscriptions except the Louisville paper, but that's because
of my husband, otherwise that also would be gone any day.
I am glad I threw out my different questions, so I can get some
answers from the group

I listened to a financial commentary on the iPad this morning and
he had a great take on it, saying that the price will come down
to below $200.00 and people will have them laying all over the
home, using them like you would the newspaper so when you are in
the den, the kitchen, the living room you will just pick it up
and began looking at the sports section, picking up a recipe off
the net, checking your stocks, picking back up on the book you
were just reading, balancing your checkbook then laying it down
and picking up one in the next room when you are done with the
meal and sitting down to watch TV. I believe he is right.
I think this device (or one even better) will become a part of
our everyday lives. Most of our needs will be with WiFi and not
involve paying a phone company their monthly fee. Just today I
wrote to Forbes and Truck Trends (both were due now for renewal,
I'll do the same with each as they expire) telling them that I
would no longer subscribe to paper documents and I would continue
with their firm as soon as they had the magazine on the iPad. I
am tired of killing the trees and filling the land with needless
trash when there is a much better way.

Awesome article about today's Apple event by developer John Gruber:

It's a great perspective on everyone's favorite fruit-flavored
company.
