<p><a href="http://www.linuxfordevices.com/cp/bio/Jonathan-Angel/">Jonathan Angel</a> recently explained very well, in a piece about <a href="http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/The-IBM-PCs-birthday-vacuum-tubes-and-why-tablets-threaten-democracy/">the IBM PC's birthday'</a>, something I realized the first time I saw a tablet computer, that is the main reason why I will not limit myself to any device like that, and suggest nobody does. Here's that reason, expressed with two quotes from Jonathan's piece, which I do suggest you read in its entirety:</p>
