Hi Bob, Even though I don't personally have an iPad (my current Mac computer is over 8 years old and not compatible with iPads), I agree that an tablet would be a very useful modeling tool. Apparently Kalmbach doesn't think so though, because in their advertising for the MR Archive DVD, they specifically state that the DVD's are not compatible with smart phones and tablets. Whether this is just because none of those devices have DVD capability, or usually they don't have that much storage space (32gb), I don't know. If you can find a way to use the archives with an iPad (or other tablet) please let us know, that would probably be a "deal-maker" for many potential customers of the DVD's. Not being compatible with smart phones is not such a big deal, because their screens are so small anyway.
