I have no idea what you are talking about, but am confident I'm not the only one. :o)
With Iwork on Ipad you can create anythig you can create with Iwork on a MacBook Pro, used by the most creative people in the world. You can disseminate it around the world. I challenge you to look at http://www.paulaboutlife.com and say anything there was done on a "mimeograph" (not that I am old enough to know what that is).
Name something you can't do with an Ipad (with an app, which would cover the printing issue I know you'll mention) that you can do with a laptop. And then I'll time you on doing any of it, you on a laptop and me on an Ipad. I'd win. Or to lug your laptop with you to meetings all day. I'd win. ANd mind you, I'd only be able to use the Ipad literally a few minutes because as I've noted before I can't use a screen that size for long. Other than that (and because of the software even that is much more accessible than most laptops) it is the antithesis of the mimeograph and you've proven my point about those stuck in the paradigm that "don't get it."
But say Hi to Dino, WIlma and Barney for me. :o)
