Well unfortunately some of us arent in the position to spend hundreds of dollars/pounds on the newest igadget, whilst our old toys are discarded to the technology inept family members.
'Old used tech' is some peoples gold, and with a bit of creativity can be used to undertake some tasks that modern technology can anyway....
So just bear in mind, Ill be the one smirking when my 4 month old £330 pound original iPad performs all the tasks I want, whilst you've paid out £800+ for two iPads, the newest of which will offer nothing but a slightly better screen, a bit more processing power, and a rubbish couple of cameras for facetime (which no-one i know uses anyway).....
Just admit, you only want one to show your freinds anyway, if you really want to be levitated to the heights of tech god amongst your social circle, do something creative like invent an internet meme, its free, and it will probably last longer than your bit of smug self satisfaction in a white box will.
