@bazzacollins oh Barry, not you too? I thought we’d dealt with that tired old trope years ago (or is my sarcasm radar failing me?) -
@kennyhemphill No, I'm deadly serious. Look on trains: people working are using laptops; people watching iPlayer are using iPads. -

@bazzacollins Spreadsheets are used outside financial industry, too. - 6 more replies

@kennyhemphill@bazzacollins …you may find other uses for it. Cf. other computing devices too. -
@chrisphin@kennyhemphill Chris, I agree. But this conversation started (in what now seems like 2010) on whether there was a need for...
