grawk Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Don't listen to Dr Pak. It's perfectly sane to buy nice headphones and ipads. What's insane is torturing yourself over perfectly reasonable decisions. Quote
shellylh Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Shelly look at it this way, is $5000 a sane amount to spend on headphones? Me: perfectly sane. Hubby: say what? Quote
deepak Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Me: perfectly sane. Hubby: say what? Unfortunately they don't look cheap either Quote
justin Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 sends me your ipads for custom laser engraving Quote
jvlgato Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Congrats Shelly! I'll bet you love it! Quote
Absorbine_Sr Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Hmmm ... my two kids fight over my 1 all the time. My wife thinks I'm crazy to get the 3, when I have a 1 that is working ok, it's just not fast enough for me. In fact, maybe I need to get TWO more so that each kid has one! Debbie will most likely be selling her Gen 1 John. Let me know if you're interested. Quote
HeadphoneAddict Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 We're probably gonna offer our old AT&T iPad1 to our 18 year old daughter, but suspect that she'll decline it if she thinks it will help her get a newer 13" Macbook Pro for college. We'll see... Quote
mrarroyo Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 I would like to print from an iPad, I have been reading a bit and at the moment I do not have any wi-fi type printers nor any printer that natively supports airprint. So I wonder if there is a good application that would allow me to print from an iPad to a printer I have hooked up via USB to an Apple AirportExtreme. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. Quote
grawk Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Do you have a computer on your network that has the printer defined? There are several ways to enable airprint that way. Quote
jvlgato Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks, Mike, but I think I'll opt for saving my marriage at this point in time. Quote
monsieurguzel Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Me: perfectly sane. Hubby: say what? Congrats Shelly on deciding to go with the headphones 009s. I know you were joking about possibly getting them down the line but now i see it's a nearby goal Also decided to plunker down and get an iPad but can't decide for the life of me if I should go w/ ATT or Verizon. Common sense would say Verizon, but AT&T LTE is supposed to be pretty good in Houston. Either, my wife was NOT happy about getting the hand me down instead of the shiny new toy Quote
grawk Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 So get her one too. The main reason to go with verizon is the free tethering. If you don't forsee using that, go ahead and get AT&T. Either works internationally tho. Quote
VPI Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 I got Verizon as I have noticed much higher speeds here in NYC on their LTE network than AT&T's. Quote
jvlgato Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 The main reason to go with verizon is the free tethering. A little confused, which part is free? So can pay the cheapest monthly fee for iPad data, but then be able to use your Verizon phone as a Wifi hotspot for the iPad at no extra charge (if you're paying for data on your Verizon phone)? Quote
Torpedo Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Looks like I bought an ipad3. Went to cancel my order online and it wouldn't let me (probably because I got my name engraved on it which was probably stupid). Now you were tipsy Quote

Nope, it means you can use your ipad data to tether your laptop Quote
jvlgato Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Interesting. Didn't know the iPad could project a wifi signal. Quote
grawk Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 either wifi or bluetooth, I haven't tried it yet so I'm not sure which Quote
jvlgato Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) http://www.gottabemo...-lte-data-plan/# Interesting. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I'd think the term 'mobile hotspot' would imply wifi? Maybe? Edited March 9, 2012 by jvlgato Quote
jvlgato Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 That could be really useful. I wonder if I should switch my pre-order from the wifi only to the wifi/Verizon 4G ... I have Clear now, and have been happy with it lately. But this might increase my options down the road ... Have people been happy w/ their Verizon LTE service? Fast? Generally, a good available signal? Widespread availability of signal? Quote
grawk Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 They're actively building it out, so it will only get better. Quote
