…meaning Schot thinks the iPad is going to be a bust like the Apple Newton? Or the iPad will clean up competition (if any) or dominate? Which way is this ‘toon leaning?

The apple looks like a pacman character ready to gobble up the rest.

He’s eating BOOKS! Will we lose all our books to the new technology?

I pad = $500 Hardcover best sellar = $25 Need to buy 20 books to bread even. I read maybe 4 year. Takes 5 years to break even. Tech is old in 2 years. Bad investment. I will take the real book every time.

The Kindle is only $249 in the “cheap” version, you can download some books for free, a lot are ten bucks, some are MUCH more! But the IPad is more than just a book reader. I still prefer the printed page.

^ Try the Kindle version on Amazon. O:-)

But seriously, we seem to have a ‘94 edition on sale in the UK, you guys have a ‘91 edition… No, I lie. There’s a 2008 edition!

oh bruce i do so agree!! I love the printed page, the smell of a new book, the feel of adventure after midnight with only one light shining on the page…….

^There’s always a flash light Brucey! Remember I was here when Andrew and Wilma hit.

BTW Holding an ipad means holding up a sign saying “RIP ME OFF!”
