Typing this on a 6 year old Mac, runs everything well. No hardware will last forever in an exponentially expanding world of software built for ever increasing hardware capabilities. But Apple does a stellar job with product longevity with consistent build quality that only a few of their competitors have even begun to attempt to emulate and an OS that's as universal and timeless across generational platforms as you can get.

Most of the other copy cat tablets and iClone phones are one off orphanware from the moment you peel the protective film off the screen.

well, we bought my parents an ipad 1 right before there was an ipad 2, now the ipad 1 is not updatable. i thought SD or someone mentioned that was a concern probably right below the concern of buying Ipads while trying to get cozy at the cozy cone with microsoft.

I've got the iPad 1... works just as good as the day I got it almost 4 years ago.

I couldn't download MyRadar (which I highly recommend everyone get as t-storm season approaches) to it as that requires OS 6 or beyond. :(

Do we have to go through again, why you do not fraternize with new hire F/A's?

The banner ads are driven by your browsing habits. Some e-marketer algorithm thinks you might be sick due to some keystokes. That said, there are some doozies out there, really repulsive stuff.
