That upcoming disney post will be much appreciated since we're hoping to terrorize that place in Oct. And, i would TOTALLY buy your book, but I think I'm gonna take my kids to DisneyWorld instead. However, if you provide a tip that will *undoubtedly* save me $6 on a Disney trip, then I will buy your book.

Oh, and please don't tell my supporters about the whole Disney thing… or that I'm buying your book. They're SUPER judgmental.

I was going off the $11.99 list price, you know, to sound better. If $4.31 is the price that it will take for you to buy one, I'll make it happen!

go to the Apple Store now and get it. I love mine, and I use it a lot. Let me know when you go to the Apple Store to get it. I may want to tag along.

I just got my wife an iPad last week to replace her old iBook G4. The question of if it's worth it really comes down to what you need. Of course, if it comes down to what you want, then you're just looking for someone to enable you, right? ;-)

I find that it's pretty well between an iPhone and a netbook. If you're a casual computer user, it's already pretty perfect (though it can't yet handle Hulu). However, the app store is really strong and growing; so there's a lot you can do with it already that makes it almost as good as a regular laptop. For my wife, it's a decent laptop replacement, knowing that she can use mine if she needs to do recording in Garageband or composing in Finale.

Also, if you are going to get one, and aren't worried about the 3G model, my advice is not to skimp out; shell out the extra $100 for twice the hard drive space.

Hope that helps a little.

hate to break it to you tyler, but $5.99 is NOT 50% of $8.63. half off would make it $4.31. its a good thing you're funny, cause math's not your strong point :)
if it makes you feel any better, i did have to use a calculator to figure that out … and then i couldn't figure out the actual percentage. it was purely the grace of God (and the fact that i can cry on demand and bake hellagood brownies) that got me through algebra in college.

Thanks to the link to Bryan's post. That was really funny.
