Very cool present, Mannie!

I am sure you will love it. I've been using a 3G model since summer. It is great when you're traveling, but I have had problems setting up an account in the states. Apparently, it's a common problem for Canadians traveling into the U.S.
Regardless, I've gotten a ton of use out of it so far.
Have about a half dozen apps that I use all the time.

scoot'n'ski-

One of my main subcontractors gave me an iPad for Christmas, how cool is that?!

it's as cool as the droid x kath got me. croco stopped
by on her way to her SW HQ with her new ipad. she showed
me a bunch of cool apps. one of the coolest is a sky map.
you hold the screen up to the sky and it shows where the
constellations are, names of stars, planets, and then there
are links to all manner of astronomy information and historical
stuff.

can you imagine what the world is going to be like in 30
years when all the kids in vietnam and guatemala who are
growing up with these information/communication devices
start running things. goodbye greybeards and smokestacks.

any pics from hopalong hung lately?
