The I-Pad!
I LOVE IT!!!!
Since it has been so hot, Gary has been staying in the house a lot in the evenings. Normally, he goes to his barn and tinkers with either his radio controlled air planes or his old cars and I have peace and quite in the house. I can leave the television turned off if I want to (which is normally the case) and read or play on the laptop. When he stays inside, the laptop is not available to me. He researchs any and everything. When we are watching something on tv and we wonder how old someone is, he googles it. When we are on HGTV, he googles whether the guys are gay or not. That totally makes me mad at him. ha Whatever crosses his mind, he googles it and finds the answer. If only we could retain all this wonderful info, we could be super smart! ha If he isn't googling, he is talking on one of his radio control websites to all the other pilots he has met over the years. There is something on the computer to keep him busy all night.
Then I had this other "problem". I got addicted to Words with Friends and do you know how small those letters get on an i-phone when your eyes are tired? And when you have 6-8 games going, there is always someone to play with. So, after asking Whitney several questions about what the I-Pad will or will not do, I broke down and ordered one. Let me just tell you, it is the answer to all my problems! ha
If you are thinking or considering or have never thought about ordering one until you read this, let me give you one suggestion. Step up and order the one that comes with 3G capabilities. I debated and after discussing this with Gary, we thought it would be better to have it and never want it, than to not have it and decide we need it. You don't have to take out the plan with AT&T unless you decide you want to and even then, you don't have to sign a contract. We have wireless in our home, so we haven't signed on to a plan, but I can see if we travel, we would want to get the 3G for sure. There is even an APP for Craig's List and Pottery Barn! ha And they are large enough to actually see the items listed. And the most wonderful thing for me is pre-ordering the books from my favorite authors and being able to read them on the I-Pad in the dark if I want to. They will notify you when a new book is coming out by your favorite authors. No more having to stalk Sam's Wholesale Club making sure you don't miss one. And, the most expensive book I have seen is $12.99. Much cheaper than the stores.
The only down side I have noticed is that you can't text like on the I-Phone. Well, you can through gmail or AIM, but not real texting as we are all addicted to. So at night now, when you think of me (I know you do all the time - or at least ocassionally), you can picture me on the couch in our living room with I-Pad in lap and I-Phone on the arm of the couch. I AM CONNECTED!
Have a Blessed Day!
