I have a shop workstation with a monitor on a arm, so I can reference things and still work at the same time. The main issues with having a computer in a shop is the dust issue, I keep the CPU in another room and have a 15' VGA/USB cord to the monitor and a mouse and keyboard on the stand. It was very easy to set up and is great to have access too when doing large projects and ordering supplies. While I think the Ipad is a great invention, the price point and over all functionality seams to fall short. Readering FW in paper form is allot more natural, you get to write notes on the pages and having to do that on a touch screen just doesn't work for me and I think most people of a certain age. While I agree the youth of today do little to no reading of paper material. Unless you are able to have the portability, ease of use, and convenience factor all taken account, reading from a screen will only be done when you must do so! Having a magazine is much better and to my mind will be the way we do things for many years to come.
