I've been getting lags with most posts and occasionally, time-out errors
accompanied with a notice saying that the message has not been sent
which, oddly enough, may or may not be true. With a GG post I get a
confirmation that my post was successful which has always been reliable.

I've upgraded my iPad to iOS 5 which has a split keyboard which makes
entry easier - I like it a lot. My apps are backed up on the iCloud
server so I guess you could say that this new OS upgrade pretty much
introduces the brave new world of remote storage to the masses.
Actually, it's nothing short of a revolution for the computer. A quiet
one at that.

My friend got his Kindle Fire yesterday. It looks like an attractive and
well built device. I was impressed at what you can get for $200. The
question that remains to be seen is if this can be more than a portable
retail outlet for Amazon products.
