This is where we are now:
Linux is not a good choice because it doesn't run the specialized tools I need to run, some of which are Windows development tools, and even Flash player.
In order to understand this, we need to alter it just a tad:
The iPad is not a good choice because it doesn't run the specialized tools I need to run, some of which are Windows development tools, and Apple actually prohibits Flash.
Doesn't make sense, right? But the iPad is not such a different device. It's just a computer with a wireless interface and a touch screen.
And so it turns out that running Quickbooks, Flash, and Windows development tools is not the future end-all/be-all of computing.
In fact, the iPad has no printing capabilities at all.
Perhaps that's why it's in such huge demand.
