It's 6 P.M.Where's my wife? .I find here curled up in our bed, her eyes transfixed on a stranger who is also in MY bed.Emotions are running high.She's laughing - no, she's crying.Either way, I can tell she's in love.She says it is for good reasons, and that I would not understand.Well, I don't know if I can stand for it.What's stranger than fiction? The stranger is a piece of glass.Imagine what she would do if I told HER I was in love with a piece of glass.Yes, my wife is having an affair to remember, with an iPad.We are not great with technology, we don't love technology.We don't run to it, but we don't run from it, either.We are 57 years old.When the iPad came out, we thought it would flop.It seemed like a laptop that was missing some major items, like a keyboard.Truth be told, it is much like that.However, what makes it NOT a laptop, has given my wife a lot more than a new piece of tech.My wife is having an affair to remember.ROM COMS?Romantic comedies stream like fresh cream cascading over warm Huckleberry pie.If you're not subscribed to Net Flicks, you'll want it, if you get or have an iPad.At night, we often have a 3 way (the two of us and the iPad).We connect it to our projector with a special cable she got on amazon.The iPad becomes larger than life as the movie plays high on our wall.Check email?Yes, of course.At it's core (and I mean the processor, literally) the iPad ll is an iPhone 4.Email is easy to check and the virtual on-screen keyboard works better than you'd think it would.Bank Accounts? Play games? Listen to books? Search real estate? Write real estate offers? .Yes! Clients can sign contracts with their finger or a stylus.Younger clients see a 57-year-old who's up to speed with tech.Check list is the name of an app at the app store.It works great and replaces scraps of paper.What about the battery?The battery lasts for about 10 hours, depending on the activity.Does it break?It can break.Like the iPhone and iPod before it, the face is all glass.When it shatters, it must be replaced.Get the warranty and make sure broken glass is covered.If not, there are independent repair places which can fix it for around $140.The best insurance is a good carrying case.The bottom line?I have NEVER seen my wife be so in love with anything that wasn't breathing! Yes, this "laptop with things missing," is slick.It is thin, handsome and fills a tall order for my wife, who has her standards (poodles that is).The iPad slips into her purse, lounges next to her in the car.I can see it now. "But officer, he was just going to kiss her.".What do we have for you?
