The new iPad Pro looks pretty sweet but I so don't need one. Looks like it'd be great for graphics professionals.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I so would love a new ipad, my OG one is pretty long in the tooth. But that's going to have to wait until finances calm down. Maybe in a year.

I think I need a new Apple TV.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
They just got me an iPad for my theatre job, and I am afraid I am going to hate it. I need it to shop online and to make spreadsheets, and I feel like it is not best suited to that. They did get me a keyboard.
Do you guys think it will be OK? I have typed things on my kindle and my iphone and I HATE IT for spreadsheets.

Will you be using Numbers for the spreadsheets or Excel? I have used Numbers some on the iPad and it's okay, has some adaptations that make it not so terrible. Excel I have not tried.

Google Sheets or Excel. I do a lot of typeing of words, and only minor formulas, but I connect things throughout sheets to make various lists (costumes by character, costumes by scene, costumes by laundry instructions, and budgeting) without retyping the same info 100 million times.

Yeah, I don't know, I haven't edited those types of spreadsheets on my iPad, only viewed. I don't love typing on it, but a keyboard would probably make a big difference.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I prefer the iPad to the iPhone for going online. My aging eyes appreciate the larger screen. Also, the keys on the iPad are larger, so I'm less likely to make a typo because my finger was 1/100 of an inch off.
I've never done spreadsheets on Apple products.

Thanks -t and Fred. A lot of my reticence has to do with my lack of time to have a learning curve- I have an efficient way to do things, and I just don't have time to learn to type on a tablet. Also the person who purchases these things for me has a years long history of getting me things that I hate and are too complicated for what I need.

Geez, I was hoping to at least be able to pre-order an Apple TV today.
