Second review of the iPad

Rico says some things are good at what they do, and then there's the others...
For a couple of weeks, both in Massachusetts and at home (until he got the modem working again), Rico used his new iPad as his primary computer:

It's rather like driving a hot motorcycle; it's fast and it's cool, yet you can't carry a lot of stuff.
Now, of course, Rico is back to using his trusty Mac:















By comparison, it's like driving a dumptruck (it's slow and it's big, yet you can carry a lot of stuff), and that's okay. Sometimes you need a dumptruck.
The iPad will do fine, just not for everything. (No easy way to purloin images, for instance. Creating this post would've been, in Rico's experience, impossible.)
So, like everything else in life, fitting the tool to the job is important:
You can drive a tack with a sledgehammer, but you can't drive a railroad spike with a tackhammer.
