I don't understand why you would want to write your book on a tablet. Sounds counterintuitive. Why not just use a real keyboard and OS on a Macbook Air? They are marginally thicker than the iPad.
- rfnslyr 13y agoWhy not just use a goddamn type writer? Man I love typing on those things. I still write up my programming assignments on it just to hear the clickity clackity. Computer Science in hard mode: Do your programming assignments on a type writer. Once.
- mturmon 13y agoHmm, I thought hard mode was toggling the program in using the switches on the front panel. After you translated to machine code.
- cylinder 13y agoPoor analogy. I already said that a Macbook is almost just as thin and light, with a superior OS and input mechanism. Tablets were never intended to be the next generation of word processing devices.
- hobb0001 13y ago> Tablets were never intended to be the next generation of word processing devices. sigh If only that we're true. iWork for iPad was announced at the first iPad announcement.
- rfnslyr 13y agoWasn't much of an analogy at all, just felt like it was an appropriate time to voice my love for type writers.
- trentmb 13y agoIn place editing? Instant copying/backup? I feel your analogy is a bit broken.
