I'm in love with the idea of the ipad/tablet but they just don't work for me in practice. Either I'm out and don't have anything on me but my phone or I'm at home and already have my computer in front of me. Ipads just don't work as replacement computers for me. I can't manage my media and document archives. I can't create bootable USB drives. I can't maintain a folder full of installers for necessary software. I just don't feel in control on a tablet.
