    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.

   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 .
