Like $79-$100 a YEAR (approx).. there is no reason for anyone not to have one. And no reason to need a fund raiser to get one since this is only 1/4 of the supposed monthly operational costs of DC. But, whatever works for you guys.
Yes, you could go find more expensive certs to buy, but I already told mouser last month where to buy cheap certs.-db90h (October 15, 2011, 07:32 PM)
It *is* still an expense on something that makes minimal, if any money, so there is a reason for people not to have one IMO. If people would donate even a bit that might be a valid argument, but with the way the economy is and everyone watching money, to put this kind of burden on people giving away things for free is not just an "oh well, that's the way it has to be."
And the iPad can do that (as can the iPhone). I'm actually blurring the terms intentionally, because they do overlap in terms of operational and functional use. Multitasking in terms of actual use is the situation that Renegade describes above, where you have applications open in the foreground and interacting with each other, either directly, or through your actions. There are degrees of this, and that's what fools us in a lot of cases, i.e. you have overlapping windows, and one the window in the back is still running- but I'd still term this a background task for the terms of actual usefulness. The interface is a bit more useful in terms of being able to move around windows- but that to a large extent falls under the reference category I separated above.
