5 pages of blather, and you clearly have no idea of what you are babbling about.

I look at it differently.

It's more like 5 pages in which I thoroughly destroyed every one of your illogical and misinformed and clueless points, and your "fanboism".

Umm, yes the iPad can use a Stylus as well as a finger. Geez... clue-less.

So, a stylus is okay when it can be used by the iPad, but it's useless when it's included as a "feature" on other tablets. Are you even able to recognize your contradictions? Are you really that dense?

Ignorant beyond belief.

That's what I keep saying about you. Thanks for agreeing with me. We might finally be coming to some kind of agreement. ;)

Oooh!! Another link to try to "dismember" my side of the argument.

But, was it included as a "feature" by Apple for its iPad tablet? All it shows is that people will have to spend more to get the iPad to do what comes standard with other tablets. But, how well does the stylus work with the iPad when Apple had not originally intended for that kind of interaction? It's like an afterthought and not originally included "feature".

Ipad a dumb terminal?

Yes! A dumb terminal that has been "upgraded/updated" with current "features", such as a wireless connection. If wireless had been as available in the old days, then those dumb terminals could easily have been called "the iPads" of the 70s and 80s and 90s. Should "wireless" be actually classified as a "feature" and/or as an advantage? If the iPad could work in a wired mode, would it have any less capabilities, other than mobility? Mobility is an advantage that wireless has over wired, but, if those "dumb" terminals of the past had wireless capabilities, then, how much better would the iPad have been?

Did you ever work with the "dumb" terminals of the past?

They were as capable of displaying "content" as the current iPad, except the graphics in those days stunk or were non-existent. But, the content was served from a "server" somewhere in a computer room, or in a headquarters building. That's not much different from what we have today with cloud technology and with iPads, which have to download "apps" and content before they're usable.

You clearly don’t even know what a dumb terminal is. Here’s a clue, a dumb terminal cannot run an App without a connection.

That's actually a very dumb definition for what constitutes a "dumb" terminal.

It's apparent that, your definition of a "smart" terminal is one that can connect wirelessly, but, the old "dumb" terminals had "connectivity, even if wired, but, connected they were.

It's quite apparent that you're talking and thinking out of your rear without any thought about what you write.

You have no clue what you are babbling about.

Do you know any other words besides "babbling"? That's very unprofessional and very childish, and that kind of communication is most often found in schoolyards with 9 or 10 year olds.

However, the one with the misinformed and ignorant statement thus far has been you, with no facts and just bluster and incoherent statements.

Not a freakin’ clue.

Perhaps, some day, when you mature a bit, you'll go back to this discussion and you'll ask yourself, "was that really me saying all of those dumb things?".

And, hey, again... what's with the very immature language skills?

"Freaking" and "babbling" aren't words that belong in an adult conversation. Did you actually go to college?

You have no idea what the iPad is - yet you write pages of wasted bandwidth.

Why are you so stuck on defending the iPad? Why not just any tablet? What's in it for you? Are you emotionally connected to the iPad and Apple? Are you so in love with anything Apple that you're rendered incoherent and wacky and illogical?

Get a clue, grow up

You remind me of the people who have been committed to the insane asylum, who believe that it's the rest of the world that is crazy. You're in an alternate reality, and perhaps it's more to do with your juvenile brain not having grown all of your brain cells yet, or, more likely, you still haven't been out into the real world in order to get clued in on the reality.

When it comes to growing up, I've done that already, and I'd be happy to give you some lessons on life, which you seem to be very lacking in.

- does Mommy know you are using her PC?

Nope! Mommy doesn't have a PC, and she doesn't know how to use one either. But, she's never needed to use one or understand one.

But, when it comes to PCs and computer knowledge, I'm apparently the one with a vastly bigger knowledge. And, hey, I'm not talking about the bits and the bytes and the gates and the switches. I've been around, and I'm 100% certain that I have a lot more experience in the "field" than you could attain in 100 years.

So, when it comes to computers and iPads and tablets, don't argue with your limited fanboism rhetoric. And when it comes to computers in general, you cannot use your "engineer" background to try to win an argument. That's arrogance. Now, when it comes to actual experience in the field, I can be arrogant, but, I can back up my "bluster" with experience that gets included on my resume. And, when it comes to general life experiences, I'm pretty sure I have a lot more of that than you.

So, in the end, it's quite apparent that, it's you that has a lot of growing up to do.

Now, you keep evading the questions which I posed, and the only ones that should matter, and so I'll ask again:

So, what knowledge are you privy to, from Microsoft, that caused you to conclude that Windows 8 "will be" a failure. Answer that and you can go about gaining some real life and computer experience. Remember, you're the one that made your outlandish predictions, so, it's incumbent upon you to answer the question. And, don't drag it on with the iPad vs any Windows tablets. That's not what your original point was.
