  Yep, as to keyboards, I have my heart set on a logitech folio. I checked one 
out yesterday at the Apple Store.

places then just WI-FI alone.  If you insist on your music collection, then you 
may decide to limit it to 40 or 50 GB of your favorite tunes and on an 128 GB 
iPad Air you should have plenty of room left for documents and maybe even a 
picture or two.

      Actually, the only thing that really holds me back from going completely 
to iOS, other than the fact that I do enjoy playing with my technology, is that 
I don't yet have a way to use the braille embosser and do braille translation 
without my Mac and/or linux; actually even with linux I can't at this point 
emboss. But for about a year now I've been thinking eventually this might 
happen and so I am deliberately doing more and more tasks on my i-devices. If 
you don't have a reason to have to specifically use MS Word, I think it might 
be doable. I have a sighted friend who is doing more and more with his iPad and 
mainly uses Windows now only for some online courses he is taking that require 
very strict MS WORD formatting; I don't remember if he is also using the 
MICROSOFT apps on the iPad; I think perhaps he is. But I think the day will 
come when using i-devices only is a viable option even in this area and for 
blind as well as sighted users. While I have to read some Word files I don't 
need to write in it so this isn't an issue for me. So I'm using my iPad 
especially, but also my iPhones, more and more and eventually hope to do what 
you are thinking of doing. I think the only way to know for sure would be to 
get an iPad or borrow one and use it for a few weeks exclusively to see if 
there are unworkable situations that come up. I also think that as the Mac and 
i-devices become more popular MS Word may someday not be demanded in some 
places as emphatically as now, but only time will tell about this. You know, 
there was a time, in my lifetime, when MS Word didn't exist and nothing lasts 
forever, not MS Word, not any OS or iOS or android or whatever. So who knows 
what may devellop just around the corner!

        I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
        I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! 
        Then God gave me a new heart and life:
        His joy for my despairing tears! 
        And now, every day:
        "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
        The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
        his mercies never come to an end;
        they are new every morning;
        great is your faithfulness."

        Hi
        I will completely agree 100% here.
        I use a mac exclusively for personal stuff, but for any kind of 
productive
        stuff I use windows. E.G. Embossing, word processing, work related 
email and
        excel etc.
        Otherwise I use the mac for itunes, mail, browsing etc.
        I also have a few notetakers that I use as well.

        Teresa,

        The one thing I would add to what others have said is that, in my
        experience, there doesn't seem to be a word processor available for
        the iPad that can match the muscle of MS Word. Even my friends who are
        devoted Mac users still return to Word for heavy-duty word processing.

        I love my iPhone/iPad, but I will keep my laptop for the foreseeable 
future.

          Hi, all,



          I have a computer that needs a hard-drive replacement, at the very 
least,

          and possibly has a failed logic board. I'm seriously considering 
replacing

          it with an iPad. Price is only somewhat an issue, since there seems 
to be

          only about $100 US difference between a new model I would want and the

        iPad.

          Mainly, I don't want the hassle of replacing moving parts and getting 
dust

          and cat-hair and such snarled up in it. I'm also extremely comfortable

        with

          iOS and use my iPod 5th gen constantly. I intend to use the iPad with 
a

          keyboard.



          So has anyone else taken this sort of step? Am I out of my mind, or 
do you

          think this is doable?



          I am a casual user. I read books, browse the web, play videos and 
music

        and

          games, and occasionally write for informal publications.



          What do you guys think?
