QUOTE (hermit @ Jul 2 2010, 01:36 PM) Considering Apple has decided to hate Adobe, maybe they just do not like .pdf anymore on their new-and-cool toys? Maybe it's just a punishment for buying a product as lame as the iPad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

The Ipad actually rocks.
But then, extremely few of the people that bash it have ever even held one. So... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) sure, but the question is, does it have >500 bucks worth of rockage? because, as it just so happens, my $550 has exactly $550 worth of rockage in it, and i'd hate to trade it in for some shiny new toy with only a couple hundred bucks worth of rockage in it. particularly when i probably only have to wait a while, and i can get something that has 90% of the ability at 1/5 the price. |

Yeah it really does. I have over 600 RPGs on mine. Countless novels. And it can access the internet, email, word programs, my Ipod songs, Movies in high def, and 1000s and 1000s of aps. So sure, if you hold out 10 years you might get something with 90% the ability at 1/5 the price. I'll enjoy my Ipad (( and her younger sisters I'm sure)) for those 10 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) As a side note. Shadow run RPG books look amazing on her. |

I love this book! Like a giant history textbook for ShadowRun. Probably one of the first books I'm actually gonna read front to back instead of skimming through.

The Shadow run books look very very nice on the Ipad.
The only problem I've seen is that the 6th world Almanac's maps don't work quite right. Not sure why, but myself and others have commented on it. Everthing else works great though. |

Germany is very strange in the book. When I read the words "Germany survived" it struck me that those two words describe Germany perfectly. All the rest is details.

Some notes:
6th world reads very Huffington Post at times. It's a corrupt world, but hardly dystopian. In many ways it's a better world than today. I think there's less metahuman phobia in 2072 than there is homophobia in today's world. 2042: Veil Agents? I missed something somewhen. Who are the Veil agents? As a Conn native, thanks for blowing up that casino. I laughed. Istanbul was Constantinople... Again, thanks for making me smile. Ma’fan's last line on the Olympics and scandal was great. It highlights a wonderful theme. "If the future is Dystopian, maybe it's it's because it has Shadowrunners." These people, as a group, seem to be the cause of most of their own problems and they blame everyone else for their own actions. That really appeals to my sense of irony. |

Veil was a secret agency which was tasked with keeping the photos of dragon skeletons and pyramids on Mars secret, and they probably had something to do with the secret first Mars landing. |

PDFs work on the iPad. There is a problem with some of the map graphics when displayed on the iPad. Other than this, the PDFs work fine - and I'm certain CGL will correct this problem sometime soon? Right CGL? |

It's old fashioned race bias that took the hit: most people are now bigoted towards metas, not skin color. Exceptions still exist, of course. There's textual support for this; I'm just don't have time to look it up right now. |
