Too cool for the room?

Santa brought me an iPad for christmas. Does that make me one of the 'cool crowd'?

Not according to my eldest son: "Dad, it'll take a lot more than an iPad to do that".


Perhaps so, but I am having a lot of fun playing with my shiny new toy.  I've never owned a laptop (though  everyone else in the family has one) and until recently my smart phone wasn't very smart because I was too cheap to pay for a data plan.  I am a late-comer to the portable computing party.
