Rant and rave on. A few years ago my wife bought me an iPad. At first I wasn't too impressed with it but after using it for awhile I came to love it. Then I updated it. Big mistake. My wife updated hers too and same thing. It just gets slower and slower. Apple forums are no help getting the thing to be as near as fast as it once was. It is the OS that is slowing it up. And it just gets slower and slower. And it keeps crashing. The guy at the apple store told us the only hope is to spend 600 bucks on a new iPad. So then I buy this 50 dollar Fire tablet from Amazon and it works way better than my Ipad. Then I buy my wife the 8 inch one, just to play with, for 180 bucks. She likes it. So I am going to get us both the 10 inch models. One thing about the Fire that I REALLY like is the micro SD card slot and the way the tablet uses this extra memory. I downloaded some stuff to watch on the ferry and the tablet automatically saved it to the SD card. Such a good idea not to mess with the native memory in the tablet. I'm sure other tablets make just as much sense. The upshot of all this is that I say FUCK Apple and the way they do business. I know it makes them loads of money but their customer service sucks and I really hate the idea of being forced to buy a new tablet every two or three years for more and more money because Apple software updates ruin the tablet in hand. Sorry about the strong language, but it had to be said. Rant and rave off. Eric
