Your Wallet And Your Feet Will Thank You
Save on shoes and more at this link at Amazon (the "New Fall Arrivals"). Enter the promo code 2012FALL at checkout for $20 off a $100 purchase; $50 off a $200 purchase (of select shoes, handbags and accessories).
NOTE: Amazon's link above is wrong and goes nowhere. I've emailed them to get the new link. Grrr. Might they, you know, CHECK before emailing a link to THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of Amazon Associates? Guess not!
This does work, however: Amazon Outlet Fall Sales.
Amazon has finally fixed the "Powered by Amazon" button in Amy's Mall (although I haven't had a moment to fix the text that says it's still broken). So, to buy something that's not linked here, just go through this link, a product I have linked to here, or use that "Powered by Amazon" button on the top left in Amy's Mall.
And thank you -- really, truly appreciate all the purchases that you all send my way.
The first link for shoes isn't working. Not sure why.

I'm thinking about buying an iPad in a couple of weeks. I always held back because I type a lot, and I couldn't see it being useful. But the other day somebody pulled out their iPad complete with case and keyboard, and I was like, holy fucking shit I want one of those! (I have one of those netbooks in my collection, but it's sooooo fricking slow that I haven't used it in over a year).
I see there are several versions of iPad available, and was wondering if iPad owners would offer their insight? For example, 16GB v 32GB or larger. Do I need larger than 16GB? I don't have tons of photos, and most of my docs are Word or Excel. I do like genealogy though, and it would be nice to have a program storing that info. Also, I was trying to access Best Buy's specs online, but my internet keeps freezing on that site so I don't know what the cell feature is?

I have piles and piles of PDFs on mine, and use a wonderful program called iAnnotate ($9.99) to annotate them. I can then email the annotated doc to myself and have it print out only the annotated pages. A good thing when some of these are 90-page studies.
I use Apple's wireless keyboard with mine, same as on my big computer at home. Love it!
You need to turn Word docs into PDFs to annotate them, and I'm guessing there's a word-processing program for iPad, but I don't have it. I write in Notepad and email myself.
Here's a link in case you want to buy it through my Amazon links:
Black: Apple iPad MC705LL/A (16GB, Wi-Fi, Black) NEWEST MODEL
And here's white: Apple iPad MD328LL/A (16GB, Wi-Fi, White) NEWEST MODEL

Thanks! Once I round up the funds (prob a couple weeks), I will definitely order through your link. It helps you, and you work hard at entertaining and educating me on your site, so it's like a win-win.

Thank you! I will email you as soon as I am able to buy (prob couple of weeks, but maybe sooner). If okay, I will link you the iPad and also a case and keyboard, as I will need all three.
