First off, I do NOT pirate. I would like you to apologize to me about this. You have no right to say that without knowing anything about me.
Nope. The "you" was figurative and non specific. As in any "you' that getto breaks an Ereader and thinks he has an Ipad. Not 'YOU" in specific, but by the rest of your post, it relates to you too so, nope. Not gonna apologize.

Second, I know enough that if something happens I can fix it.
If you say so. I doubt it though. Those things aren't built to be opened up and fixed. They're purposefully built to brick if you do so. And most people wouldn't have a clue anyway. You may? And if so. More power to you, but if you're that skilled and that talented, and that smart, you'd likely know it's smarter to just buy something that works with out having to jurry rig it, and risk it, than going through all the trouble. But to each his own.

Third, I can buy a Nook and then in a few more years buy a new one AND STILL HAVE MONEY LEFT OVER!
Not if you're buying the cheepest one, that off the rack is better than your getto one. Nook Colors are $250. the little Ipad that would still be better starts at 5. If you bought two nook colors you'd pay $500. Your math isn't that great Foxy one.

The real thing... that's a laugh. The real thing is anything that works. Like a Shadowrunner, I take the hardware and make it work for me, rather than being a wageslave and buying overpriced items from some Megacorp who thinks that they know better than me what I need. Apple is a cult and like any cult, they have their... fans.
If you say so, but you also said you don't do it. So is this a figerative rant or a real one? I suspect you likely have neither. The Ipad or the ghetto Ebook one. The Ipad works. So do laptops. So do desk tops. My Desktop is custom. My laptop is not. My Ipad, which I use for different things than I do either the desk or laptop is Apple. The only apple I have. Why is it apple? because the Ipad is the best tablet on the market. It works. Every time. No fuss. No muss and there's 1000s and 1000s and 1000s of people working on aps for it. I don't have to break into it or try and get it to do things it's not supposed to do to get it to work. I tap the button and it works every time just as designed.
It's akin to buying a car.. or searching through a junk yard and building one out of a lawn mower and assorted car parts. Sure, your supped up lawn mower might get you from A to B. Might be cheepr than the car I bought, They both have wheels and roll and run on gas. But they're not quite the same thing. And if your jurry rigged lawn mower breaks, because... it's a jurry rigged lawn mower. You gotta fix it yourself. Instead of taking it some where and having it fixed because it's supposed to work that way.
I'm far from a member of the apple cult. The room I'm in now has 5 PCs (( My Gaming computer, back up desk top, Lap top, wife's computer, and my Ipad)) and only one is apple.. It's apple because it's the best. Just like I own an Ipod as well. Because the Ipod is the best MP3 player. Look around. How many zunes do you see? or off market ones even? 1 in 10? If that?

You got your information about Nooks being bricked on a RPG forum...
Yup, those guys really know tech!
You mean... .like you're trying to get me to believe you do? By your own logic I shouldn't believe you, because you're on an RPG fourm saying you know your tech. lol Good one. you just insulted and invalidated yourself. Should I stop reading your argument now, based on the fact that even you don't think you know what you're talking about? LOL

Just like you don't go to the doctor to get your car fixed, or to your mechanic to get your teeth cleaned (unless of course you have cyberteeth, but then you have a whole different world of problems). You don't go to a RPG forum to get your computer (or tablet) fixed. You go to a tech forum.
And yet... here you are, in spite of your own claims, trying to claim you know better, in the exact same way. In the same post, that you point out it's silly to believe anyone on an RPG Forum talking about tech. Do you realize the irony there?

Now to correct your misinformed opinion about the Nook being a "cheap Getto tablet". I will assume you have an first gen iPad since you said about having this iPad back a while ago. If you have an iPad 2 then the stats are a little better in your direction.
Nook Color
- processor: ARM Cortex A8 overclocked to 1.1 GHz with PowerVR SGX 530
- RAM: 512 MB
- SD Card slot: Can take upto a 32 GB microSD card
- Screen Resolution: 1024 x 600 @ 170 ppi
- Size: 7 inches
- Operating System: Cyanogen Mod 7 w/ tablet tweaks (Android 2.3.3)
Apple iPad
- Processor: Apple A4 running at 1 GHz (ARM Cortex A8 with PowerVR SGX 534)
- RAM: 256 MB
- SD Card slot: none
- Screen Resolution: 1024 x 768 at 132 ppi
- Size: 9.7 inches
- Operating System: iOS 4.3
I do have a G1 Ipad yes. The only thing a ghetto broke nook has the Ipad doesn't is an SD Card slot to take it up to 32 gig. Which I don't need as I already have 64. the Ram is largely irrelevent, in that the Ipad does everything you tell it to instantly. At most, the only delay I ---ever--- see from the Ipad, is when I use an app that's accessing information or update on the internet. ANd your ram won't help you there.
*Shrugs* I like the Ipad. It does what I tell it to. every time. If you like your nook. That's fine, but it's not better. You shouldn't put on airs about it. you still have a jurry rigged wanna be Ipad that's smaller and does less. The fact that you repeatedly crack on people for knowing tech on RPG forums while trying to be a knowing member of same... is funny.
