I've finally caved. I bought an iPad.
For many years now I've been an avid Mac hater. Unfortunately, I'm the type of person that loves doing things in spite of others, just because I like to be a devil's advocate, so as the Mac hype kept growing I just kept hatin' on it. I also believe it was all overrated - which I still do believe by the way. Everyone seems to think that my recent iPad purchase is going to turn me into a Mac-o-holic but I can assure you that's not going to happen. I love my dell and my droid way too much to move over to the dark side!
Either way, I'm rather enjoying my iPad experience. I bought it as a gift to myself for a successful year as a post-graduate. Sometimes you need to treat yourself to something you really want, when no one else will! I played around with one last week and I just loved the accessibility, the readiness of the apps, the sleek style, and so much more. What I'm most excited about is using it on campus when I go back to JMU for graduate school. I'm going to train myself to be good at typing notes on it over the summer so I can use it in my meetings. All of the top JMU admin these days are sporting their university provided iPads, so I'm totally becoming a poser as I try to be one of them. My dream is to sit with Dr. Rose in the Carrier Starbucks, playing Angry Birds with our iPads - maybe now that he's retiring he'll be much more open to the idea! I'll keep you posted ;)
So for now, I'm totally pro-iPad and I can't wait to use it for all it's worth! $350 to be exact!
In the spirit of tacos,
Candace
