Wow…it’s slower than me on an uphill hike…

…but I took the revamped laptop out on a couple of “road tests” and I am liking it. It’s picking up all the WiFi and hotspots.

It’s funny, but I use the same thinking about my old cars…I’ve owned them and I know where the kinks are since they were new. But it’s weird to have a computer so slow. Not bad, just strange.

I was thinking about this as Apple just released th new iPad…do we need it? Does it really fit some niche that Apple is going to invent? Here is a nearly decade old Dell that I’d practically threw away, and I can’t figure out what anything new would do except for speed…but then I have other computers for that. It will be interesting. I just know it plays movies just fine, burns CDs, runs my GPS software, connects to the internet, and really is disposable at this point.

The iPad thingy will be interesting.
