Tablets are lightweight and have a different range of functions than a laptop, so I can understand Owlie's sister's sentiment...

Shootingstar, I respect that a lot! I typucally shy away from face-to-face interaction, so I really admire you for liking it so much. And it's great to not be addicted to tehnology! You mentioned not wanting to blog on a mobile device, which I sympathized with. I bought a separate, laptop-size keyboard that connects to my phone via bluetooth to work around that (it's the same keyboard I used for my iPad). So much easier for those lengthier blog entries!
