'm pissed there's no floppy disk, wah! Technology is constantly evolving. Apple is brave enough to advance the technology boundaries by pushing new features, while temporarily leaving others behind in a 1st gen. product. I'm tired of other companies complaining while Apple does the heavy lifting. Oh, another thing - I have a sports car and a truck. Neither does everything I'd like, but each does what I want very well. If someone wants a machine that does it all, you end up compromising the ability to do it well. The iPad does a lot of things very well.

They both have lights, seats, and a windshield. An Apple car would not have that. A general use car does more that what an Apple car would do.

Why would you not want to organize, iew, or print from an ipad or tablet when they first come out? The technology and knowledge is already there. Rush even commented on the lack of ability to print.

Your analogy totally sucks, and was not well thought out. I think when you were made, a few parts were missing (half a brain perhaps). My analogy about differences between a sports car and truck is much closer to the differences between an iPad and a desktop PC.

The iPad is like a sleek sports car. What it does, it does very well. I use mine daily for 90 percent of my tasks. I also have a couple dozen other computers, among them Macs and PCs.

By the way, I have several sports cars. I have them because I enjoy driving them. I use my truck when I need to haul stuff, but it doesn't get used like my sports cars. Maybe you should respect the right of others to enjoy multiple products, or perhaps just stick to your own and have blinders on your eyes.
