Thanks much.

I'm on a tower now, but have owned an iMac in the past. The one thing I do not like about an iMac is that both monitor and CPU are housed in the same box which is both a blessing and a pain. If one goes out you have to take the whole mess into a repair shop. However it does take up less footprint on your desk.

I personally would take a Mac Mini over an iMac unless you are going to be doing more than e-mail, posting, surfing, routine word processing and spread sheets in which case you should be looking at a tower anyway.

Otherwise you'll pry my Mac from my cold dead fingers. It is more stable and problem free than any Windows box.

OI - I really do not know much of what I am talking about, but from what I am seeing the tablets are going to devour phones and notebooks, if not laptops - in a roundabout way.

By that I mean you could a USB cord to connect with the tablet.

According to what I can parse from the very poorly written manual.

Oh, some tablets, such as the 'Droids, likely already have a USB connection, but Apple didn't see fit to put one on their first generation iPad. The only way they'll ever sell one to me is if I can hook up external storage or to a printer. All the other cool stuff is for kids. I would not mind a book reader, but I can buy a tablet that will do more than be a reader for a whole lot less than an iPad. Apple is going to have to give me a reason to buy one.

They strike me as the logical extension of the iPhone type device. The one problem with the iPhone, and its copycats, is that the screen and keyboard are too small to really make it functional except for teenage girls who live on the phone. The Tablet can, and should, perform all the functions of the phone and a small laptop. With the ability to plant it in a docking station and add a full function keyboard it has the potential to have a lot of utility as the all purpose information appliance.

I am no teenage girl and I use it probably more then they do!

Yes, if you have bad eyes then the iPhone is not for you, but that is not a issue the majority of people in the world have a problem with.
