I learned a lot of my word processing and presentation-generation (Harvard
Graphics) on a CP/M machine; it had a Winchester 10Mb drive attached.  In
fact, my work on that machine got me promotion to squadron leader :-)

But I could do a lot more on an iPad, Ken.  Send me yours and I'll prove it;
I don't mind if it has a US keyboard ;-)
