Ok. Reasons not to buy a tablet
1) They don't come with CD/DVD drives. Buy an external.
2) two out of the three stores where I can get one in Chch don;t keep them in stock because the demand is so limited. The other store keeps one and replaces it as they sell.
2a)This means that _only_ the latest (and most expensive) models are available.
1+2=3) Buy the time I count in the neccessary extras (cd, case, etc) they're a good $1000 above what I was budeting.
[sigh]
Maybe I'll look at being financially able to not feel guilty about buying one next Xmas (by which time they may come with cds). Meanwhile I guess the money is going against the mortgage after all. I'll think about taking it out again and doing something to the house after Xmas.
Considered buying a new camera. That would be much cheaper. But I don't really use the one I have, and while the 10x optical zoom would be nice, the flash would still get me into trouble when I used it ;)
