It would take about 11 weeks of payments to save up for the ipad to get one from eBay instead ($230 on ebay for 2nd gen 32gb model, 19 dollars a month for 72 weeks from buddy's). I wouldn't want to do without the internet for that long, but if they cancelled their internet for a month (which they wouldn't need without the ipad in this hypothetical) they'd be able to buy in maybe 2 months. Is two months of having to use the internet from the library really worth spending $1000 on when you can't even afford a $230 ipad? Sorry, but there are other options.
