 JH> What do you use more?
 JH> I have both an iPad and a laptop.  I find I use one or the other, but
seldom ever both at once.  For example, right now I mostly use the laptop for
pretty much everything, and the iPad has been sitting on my desk, dead, for
about two months.
 JH> I then think to myself:  "I should use that more" and then will start
doing most everything on the iPad (social media, web browsing, watching
videos, etc) and then my laptop will sit on my desk, dead, for awhile.  Rinse
and repeat.
 JH> When it comes to BBS'ing though, for me at lease, has to be on an actual
computer.  In this case, on my laptop, laying on the couch with a rather
temperamental siamese curled up just under my legs.

 JH> ... Never try to out-stubborn a cat.

I still prefer BBSing on my desktop PC over my laptop. I have two laptops. One
is strictly for work and is pretty small and mobile. The other one (actually
was my son's ROG gaming laptop until he fried it) I use mainly when I am GMing
an rpg game. Took it apart, cleaned it up and replaced the memory and SSD and
it flies now.

Used to use my phone for that but the interface is just too small. I do have
an OLD ipad I have been thinking about seeing if it's still usable. Never been
one for tablet use but if I can get it working I can see using it in games and
whatnot .
