Not if you had my living situation and had people keeping you awake every single night or you were paying 3 times more for heat than you should be, or if every time you heard a sound outside you had to worry about someone vandalizing your cars.

We had people setting off fire works over our house and cars again this year. I can't wait to GET OUT as Tom says.

It does not matter how much it will suck to physically move.

And for the record - S600 ain't no picnic either Makes you realize why Heat was an Option on this car

Money is an issue for us (Tom wants one) AND the fact that most of them have to be "synced" to a "real computer" just like a phone.

I see little point in having a so called computer that has to talk to another real computer to function.

I love the idea of this though and I'm sure it works for some people, especially if you do not already have a fabulous portable computer like I do

$60 is a great rate
I'm more than happy to have a very basic, but clean room for that price
I'm paying like $75 for my room during the festival which I think is a deal, and I really don't mind the drive there and back, it's only about 25-minutes and I love being right down on the lake, and I have a great little pizza parlor that delivers to my room.

For me the tablet would be synced to my phone
I would be picking up a huge screen, 10.1" compared to the existing 3.75"

You dont have to sync it to a computer. Apple makes you do that as that is the only way to back things up. If someone made a tablet that could be connected to an external hard drive that would be cool.
