Put off computers?

But put on again by the iPad.

What puts you off a computers as we know them today?

- Viruses
- Drivers
- Defragging drives
- DLLs
- RAM vs HDD
- GHz
- USB
- KB
- Monitor
- File systems, hierarchical chaos, searching. Cloud vs local. The whole file mess, and the drive mess "C:" etc

These are just some of the issues the UK Government's Myguide web site tries to tackle, and its quite pointless and far too nerdy. When all you want to do is check your bank account, read the news and check your emails?

Many people are kept away from computers just for these reasons. So why not change the computer, not train the people. Computers, even Macs with OS X, are too complex.

That is what the new Apple iPad is doing. Through its simplicity and interface. Look at the example of the iPhone/iPod touch. Children play with them, intuitively because of the revolutionary interface.

The iPad is a complex computer simplified. For just $500. Ideal for young and old, a broad spectrum of people who are not served by today's computers.

iPad is the computer for the rest of us.
