11 The Top Office Suites for iPad
Ryan Faas has sent this chapter from his iPad book
... Ryan writes:
"Critics may once have argued against any office suite
on the iPad on the grounds that it's a consumer-oriented
tablet meant for media consumption, not for producing work.
With the march of the iPad into the workplace over the past
year and a half, however, that belief has fallen by the
wayside.

12 Quotes: Roosevelt, Ustinov, Bueche
"I think that somehow, we learn who we really are
and then live with that decision."
- Eleanor Roosevelt
"The point of living and of being an optimist,
is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come."
- Peter Ustinov
"They may forget what you said,
they may forget what you did,
but they will never forget how you made them feel."
- Carl W. Bueche
