YES. I want to marry mine, Kathy. It's saving my sanity right now. But you might not need that as badly as I do. It's also fun.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So, you'd say go with the Samsung over the iPad?

Personally, I think Android scales up to 10" better than iOS. I wish the app availability were bigger, but only a little. There's a mad amount out there for both platforms. But I feel that my expanded screen space is very practically utilised with the multiplicity of Android widgets that put apps and their information *right* *there*.

My main sticking point with the Samsung vs. the iPad is the battery life--it looks like even though the specs on the Samsung say that it's 10 hours, in reality (CNET's testing), it's more like 7 to 7.5, whereas the iPad is the full 10-11 hours it claims.
It might not make that much difference right now, anyway, since I can't figure out how to find the Woot! deal on Amazon. It might be gone by now.

woot.com lists the deal as sold out.

I love my iPad, and it's a first generation model, not even the iPad 2.

I go through a WiFi heavy day with pretty frequent web use (and intermittent GPS) and get 8 or so hours out of my Galaxy, for future reference. I don't know what the settings were for CNET's testing. But I've run out of juice maybe twice in the whole time I've had it, and it goes everywhere with me, and gets used a lot.

Word xp/2003 problem. Comments show up as balloons on the right side of the document which is fine. But when I start editing them (which I need to do to reply to copy-edit queries) comment pane appears which takes up the whole bottom fifth of the screen. And I hate losing the real estate. How do I get rid of of it? Can't find where it is set to do that.

The comment bar/footnotes (toggles off and on) looks like lines and an arrow and usually is in the Reviewing bar.
I think it is black links and some blue.

I never run my Lenovo plugged in (8+ hours battery life!)
Daaaaaamn. I run my Lenovo Ideapad plugged in all the time, and I get about 3.5 hours battery life, give or take. I'm still confused about whether or not keeping it plugged in all the time is bad for the battery or whatever. It doesn't keep charging once it's fully charged, so it shouldn't affect the battery. Yet some people are recommending I remove the battery when I have it plugged in.
