What is the fascination with Steve Jobs? Why is he such a rock star? I have an iPad and I hate the thing. It's impossible to type on it and the so called apps are just glorified favorites, as far as I can tell anyway. A computer is much better. I heard the iPad is displacing the netbook. It doesn't get viruses, so that's nice, but I'd still much prefer the netbook because it's a computer. Jobs invented the smart phone apparently but the smart phone is just a mini computer with one of those wireless things in it, so what is the big deal there? I really don't get why everyone is so hyper about Steve Jobs. Probably because he died, like big deal. Anybody can do that. Andy
