^if they made an iThingie with a real iKeyboard i would bi it in a second.

You can buy a bluetooth keyboard for an iPad.

Personally, I think that's a loser - what you really want is a laptop (they're cheaper and more powerful). But if you insist, it does already exist.

^Yeah I know about those keyboards. Too crappy. Getting a laptop in a few weeks with a real keyboard.

Now that spring is actually here I have proven that I can stay awake on the train in the morning and will commit myself to writing one page a day like I did in college. Back then I wrote with an actual journal and pen! Wrote a full 450 page novel that way.

Should be much easier to write a [much better] story now.

450 pages by hand - that's impressive.

Sounds like my daughter's Xmas list !  :)

I did it over the course of a year and a half. I was 20 years old. It's a pretty good story too, even if a little dated now by 20 years passed.

Hmm...trying to remember. It's been a while since I cracked any of those old journals open.

Now that I think about it...I think there is.

Why do you ask?

Do you use the phrase " Don't take Lassie away from the children."  :D

Gusington

No...no Lassie, no Swiss pikemen and God's sake no CTCS!!

But there is a dog. Several. Just none named Lassie.

I am going to buy a MacBook Air. I can finally upgrade my iTunes after ten years of swapping and also get a real keyboard. And hopefully a battery that won't scorch my groin and shrink my gnads.
