 JH> What do you use more?
 JH> I have both an iPad and a laptop.  I find I use one or the other, but seldom ever both at once.  For example, right now I mostly use the laptop for pretty much everything, and the iPad has been sitting on my desk, dead, for about two months.
 JH> I then think to myself:  "I should use that more" and then will start doing most everything on the iPad (social media, web browsing, watching videos, etc) and then my laptop will sit on my desk, dead, for awhile.  Rinse and repeat.
 JH> When it comes to BBS'ing though, for me at lease, has to be on an actual computer.  In this case, on my laptop, laying on the couch with a rather temperamental siamese curled up just under my legs.

I still prefer BBSing on my desktop PC over my laptop. I have two laptops. One is strictly for work and is pretty small and mobile. The other one (actually was my son's ROG gaming laptop until he fried it) I use mainly when I am GMing an rpg game. Took it apart, cleaned it up and replaced the memory and SSD and it flies now.

Used to use my phone for that but the interface is just too small. I do have an OLD ipad I have been thinking about seeing if it's still usable. Never been one for tablet use but if I can get it working I can see using it in games and whatnot .
