Not commenting on anything else here, anecdotally the meme is very accurate. All of my relatives in their 50's and older (and their friends) bought cheap netbooks 5 years ago, and every last one of them is replacing them with iPads as they break, etc. This is I think, oddly, the majority of the iPad owners I know (the rest are young(ish) geeks, like me, for whom the iPad is a 3rd or 5th device.) From my perspective this meme is dead on.
