Purple,

There is a pretty informative thread on the DALPA forums that talks about the tablet. Apparently the poster was in the lounge when some tech guys were doing a tablet demonstration. I believe you will able to use it for personal use.

I am also trying to decide on an I-pad. I am greatly looking forward to ditching the DOD laptop that I now have to carry with me, and was hoping to downsize to just 1 tablet - thus my dilemma. I don't like the thought of having to carry two separate tablets - but might end up doing just that.

Spend the money and buy a personal tablet... Big D will have some form of Spyware installed on the company Tabs.

Unless we have some sort of contractual protection, we will end up shouldering these costs, but understand it is not the Company's costs, but a new, large Federal tax and transfer of wealth.

Obviously, we need to help the company shoulder these increased medical costs in 2015. So I think we should give up 42% of our pay and all of our retirement money, just like in 2004-5!

Then they can move those "Expenses" over to the "Profit" side of the balance sheet, show another couple BILLION in Record Earnings, declare an even larger dividend, and give Richard a BIGGER BONUS!

Just think how big our profit sharing checks will be when we give them more...Profit! :rolleyes:

Oh wait, our Profit sharing is going to be reduced by 33% by then.

Never mind!

I'll personally be carrying two tablets around.

I'm going to carry three, one to back up the other two, and a desk top and printer, for the layover! :eek:

Thank DOG we don't have to carry our flight kits any more. :D
