I bought my wife the iPad 1 when it first came out because it's the only piece of technology that she has ever shown any interest in.  She never really used it other than to read books so I got her a Kindle which is much better for books and I nabbed the iPad for myself.

I wouldn't have predicted it but I use it every single day. It goes to work and comes home with me every day.

For Christmas my wife bought me the iPad 4 and I sold the iPad 1 on Craig's List for $200 bucks.

Small world Jack.  After lurking on the outside for over a year I joined Ricochet yesterday which also happens to be my birthday.  After taking a thorough trouncing in my home state of Minnesota joining Ricochet just seemed like the right thing to do.

I joined Ricochet today.  I guess misery loves company.
