There are other reasons why I would not buy a tablet PC. It`s on the one hand as expensive as a basic gaming PC (or two netbooks with better usability). On the other hand: Did you ever try to work seriously on a tablet PC? They are nice for internet, Youtube, maybe Skype or (personal) Email. But everything else is better on a PC with Linux/Mac/Windows. No (common) priner port, no scanner, no keyboard (even if available as gadget), just basic apps for "on the go" and/or just for playing around with. Yes, there are advantages when it comes to newspaper apps and a tablet PC as media center. That`s very nice to have and a lot of fun. But at the bottom line it`s just a technology plaything. Modern netbooks with AMD C-60 chip for example are cheaper, almost as portable, have 5:30hours battery service life and you can do lots more things with them (even play modern PC-Games). And combined with Ubuntu Linux 11 everything is open source and very smart to handle. The new Gnome desktop feels like a tablet PC in many ways. I couldn't agree with you any more! I think you wanted to say: "I`m absolutly with you, mate". But it sounds like "I don`t agree with you anymore."

Tablets aren't new, they've been around for ten years. No one really cared about them then and no one really cares about them now. Netbooks, on the other hand, have been around for only a few years and they are really growing. I think you wanted to say: "I`m absolutly with you, mate". But it sounds like "I don`t agree with you anymore." Superku's right. "I couldn't agree with you more!" is actually a commonly used English phrase which means "Absolutely right."

Let's track the sales figures a little bit and see how much they'll make in a week:
Total payments: $1,318,544.82
Purchases #: 248,442
Average purchase: $5.31
Average Windows: $4.76
Average Mac: $7.25
Average Linux: $9.97
Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.
