5 Things We Lost In 2012
Every year, I look over the previous twelve months to see what is no longer with us. Things become obsolete every year. Times change. Just like the horse and buggy aren't a big business today as they were 125 years ago, we make progress. Here is a list of things we said adios to in 2012.

So you are thinking about buying a tablet, but are unsure of what you are going to do with it. That is not an uncommon question for people looking to buy one of these trendy gadgets. The early adopters all have them and are telling you that they are the greatest thing to hit the home computer market since the internal modem, but what are you really going to do with this device?
