Your entire post in bold is not necessary to "get" your personal opinion. While it isn't SHOUTING, it is pointless emphasis and is negligible in advancing your opinion about Ipad/EFB's.

I'm a tool/technology guy. I like the idea. Some people don't. That's OK. Some people don't like anything unless ALPA blesses it. That's OK too. Some people don't like anythng that's Smisek's idea. Whatever. So be it. It's a big, multi-cultural world out there.

That's just my personal opinion.
