Re: [QUAD-L] I got an ipad
If you're already using a computer all day, I don't really think it is an advantage. My understanding is it's the mobility of the device that makes it appealing. The reason I am probably going to be buying a Kindel shortly is because I can read at my desk and later when I get my laptray I might be able to read when I go to an appointment or in waiting on someone.

Re: [QUAD-L] I got an ipad Kindle
Thank you so much Billy. Right now I'm reading some books I have in my office, using some book stands I had built, but I'm definitely leaning towards buying the Kindle very shortly. What I need to figure out is how I can get a lap tray that will enable me to turn the pages on the Kindle using a mouthstick. I do have several small portable book holder's printer in before I had these new book stands built.

Re: [QUAD-L] I got an ipad
The following from a Senate race in Kentucky: I think a lot of things could be handled locally, Paul, a Republican, said in an interview on NPR's All Things Considered in May. I think if you have a two-story office and you hire someone who's handicapped, it might be reasonable to let him have an office on the first floor rather than the government saying you have to have a $100,000 elevator. And I think when you get to the solutions like that, the more local the better, and the more common sense the decisions are, rather than having a federal government make those decisions. How can people get away with saying such blatant lies? Do these people have no shame? Dan
