They're pretty good at levelling tables, but you might need a couple of them.

I think some of them are pretty cool for lounging around surfing the web. That said, i've got no interest in one, but I can see the usefullness for somebody who only uses a comp for web surfing, like my mom.

I didn't think I did and I don't in a way. I can think of more then a few ways they would piss me off. But I wouldn't mind having one at different times. It would be nice to have as a 4th unit behind my desktop, laptop and cell.
Plus with the age of my kids there is really 4 of us that could want to use a computer at any given time so it would be a nice extra. One mounted to an arm for use in the bathroom would be nice. I would love to win a Playbook. I would buy new computers right now over a tablet but if I won one I don't think I would sell it. James

That might be an issue if all the businesses around here didn't cling tenaciously to Windows NT still. Now, if you'll excuse me, but IE6 is being really slow to render anything today.

Nope - probably meant NT. There are a number of large businesses that remain on NT because of antiquated home-grown or custom designed software that they refuse to spend dollars on replacing "because it is still working."
Nevermind that it is a marked inefficiency that loses money in the long run; it's the short term return that makes the old POS continue to look viable.

From a tech standpoint, yes. However, from an Operational Efficiency perspective, I don't agree. Sure, the system will be stable and do what it was built to do and you're not spending money on repairs and downtime. However, if the old system is so inflexible and can't keep up with current process requirements, you're wasting the money with outside workarounds which lead to costly inefficiencies.
