I am bringing this up as I just had an Apple dealer come to one of my
schools and tell the regular ed teacher that all students should be using
just the ipad. The teacher told my student who is blind to ditch her
computer and she wanted her on an ipad full time. The para, parent and
child were trying to tell her that that would not work, but she continued
to argue with them on why she was right. The student knew what to use the
ipad for and what not and knew that her PC was her main tool. They told me.
I sent the below chart info on the PC being the leading computer in the
world and all other reasons why the student was using the best tool. If the
graphic does not come out well on your computer, I attached the data in
excel and jpg. Many tools make light work, and learning to use a PC will
give you a better chance of getting a job down the road. Also notice that
the Mac and itools are a tiny part of the market place.

Computers are incredibly fast, accurate, and stupid: humans are incredibly
slow, inaccurate and brilliant; together they are powerful beyond
imagination.
