If you bought an iPad just to browse and leave comments on a forum you either have so much money that you don't know what to do with it or you need help, or maybe both.
That's a silly statement. I bought an iPad mainly for web browsing and email and I certainly DO NOT "have so much money I don't know what to do with it." Some people go to bars and spend $30 on beers & drinking at least once a week and could buy 2 iPads in a year with the money they spend. Some people spend $120/week on cigarettes. Who are you to judge how people spend their money? I place your age at around 15.
I use my iPad (currently the original one) to do the following:
- surf the net (both at home and on the train to work)
- email
- control my Apple TV
- control iTunes for Air Play
- play games
- look at photos
- read books
- track to dos
- take notes at work
I get quite a bit of use out of it.

+1 while the sole use of my iPad isn't to browse and post on MacRumors, it is a big part of it. I love this place, I learn so much about not only Apple devices but technology in general.
Who are you to place someone's age? I agree with everything else you said until that point. It always irked me when people pulled that kind of crap, especially when I was younger. There's no age limit for stupid statements. Not trying to start something with you, but just throwing that out there.
I also use Tapatalk. I actually like it better than browsing the forums on my computer.
I don't think it's worth spending the $4.99 if you can just as easily browse the forums on the full site. If it was the iPhone/iPod Touch we were talking about, it might be another story. But even then I used to just browse normally.
Just my 2 cents of course.
I am on my pad typing this right now. This has become my laptop replacement for when I am on campus. For me it is not the issue of what it does, well a big part is. But it is portable that is the big factor, you can take it anywhere without taking up much space.

I think you misunderstood what I said. It's ok if you got your iPad just for browsing the internet and do email. But the OP made it seem like he only got an iPad to browse Macrumors. I don't know if the OP was trying to be silly or something, it just seemed ridiculous to me.
2 packs a day, high but certainly not unusual. Which is why I stopped over 45 years ago, the day my wife became pregnant with our first child. Back then it was 24cents a pack. Now in some places in NYC it's over $12 a pack, average $11. 2 pack a day habit is not uncommon. Do the math. Do you watch Madmen?
sorry dude but a 2 pack a day habit is not very common ... of every smoker I know ... nobody smokes 2 packs a day
Well "dude," if you were born in 1946 as I was and your friends started smoking back in the 1950's you might know a few.
Especially the war vets. That's Vietnam, not the Civil War.Edit: I see you're from Canada so you wouldn't know any Vietnam war vets.

Back in 1950 ... 2 pack a day habits were common ... however in 2012 they are not ... amongst today's smokers ... 2 pack habits are rare ... I was born in 1964 and have known many War Vets ... my Family lives on both sides of the border
You people using the The New iPad to surf the web are pissing me off.
Use it the right way or don't use it at all.
