Forgot to charge my iPad so I had to use my wife's laptop. Thing is I kept trying to make things happen by touching the screen.

And yeah, it's winter and snow is on the ground but it is supposed to be 60 by mid week.

Sitting here on my iPad right now, but OL got me an Asus laptop with a touch screen, so I get the best of both worlds!

But I know the feeling. Things are going too fast to keep up with, and you do, now you freak cause touching the screen does nothing.

Got a new TV with voice commands. Explain that one...

Does yours crash when people post YouTube videos too? Between that and the VW adds, the iPad gets hard to use. I like this new laptop with it's touch screen!
