re: #232 Decatur Deb

65-yr old wife is totally absorbed in her new iPad. I consciously hang back a couple iterations of Moore’s law for cost-effectiveness. Linux on a Thinkpad solves all my needs, except Civ4. Cell phones are a forced compromise with the devil. Drive a 4-speed with a hand-crank starter (really).

Thing is, I can’t get “totally absorbed” in anything that’s not simple—not with a 3 yr old to take care of. : ) At least, in this situation, the ‘puter is right out here in the open, and I’m up and down on it all day—just to keep informed, and I stream TV on it, too.

But thanks, anyway. I learned something new today: Moore’s law. No doubt little J will have an entire computer on his finger at some point. : )
