For some reason this stupid thing will play Baz's links, but not yours.
Your assertion yesterday about this iPad being a quender was "on the money"

It is indeed a reference quality quender.

You should consider yourself lucky then.
And EVERYONE would get an iPad if they could afford one, myself included. It's the only reason everyone doesn't have one.

Are they quite good then?
I thought they just looked nice.

They serve no actual purpose whatsoever.
Which is why most (again myself included) are hesitant to fork out five hundred quid for one. My cousin's got one, they're class for pissing about with on the sofa whilst watching tele. Also good when on train journeys or whatever. If half a grand wasn't a lot of money to you you'd get one without thinking.

I was looking at net books the other day for that very reason.
At less than £250 they looked quite useful, if not as pretty.

At that price you'd be lucky if they're still in one piece by the time you get them home.

Really?
Netbooks seem piss cheap.

In my experience of cheap laptops, they work OK for a few months, then they basically become crippled and struggle to run any software more demanding than Notepad without crashing, turning themselves off or being subject to massive hardware failures.
In the worst cases, they literally fall to bits.

To be honest, I don't need one.
It was just ticking the 'nice to have' list.

They're pretty nifty actually
I'm by no means a computer geek and pledge no allegiance to either camp in the whole Apple/PC quarrel, but I do like it switching on instantly and being ready to use immediately. Some effort has gone into making it quite slick.

I know little about them
But I thought they had next to no storage, so unless you write something and then e-mail it, you'd lose it.

I wouldn't know about that sort of thing
Apart from work, where technical stuff like that is someone else's job, I only use computers for pissing about on the Internet.
