I actually don't even have a tablet. I have a laptop - which I almost never use. Mostly I work at a desktop - with a good size monitor and real keyboard. I have a love/hate relationship with using my phone, at my age I need reading glasses to use the thing and avoid using it when I can use a real computer and/or a book instead.

I also refuse to pay the retard pricing on stuff that people are getting on Ebay/gunbroker. I just signed up in a couple of places for an alert when the book comes back into stock and I'll buy then. If I get to the point where I REALLY need something I'll just go download the pdf or whatever and print out the specific pages of info I need.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not opposed to panic buying sprees. I just like them more from the seller side of things - than the panic buyer side of things. Way back in Jan/Feb 2020 when it became obvious that the Cornholeya virus was coming here - I stocked up on masks at regular market prices just before everything became sold out everywhere. Even bulk bought a bunch of the N95 respirator style cartridge filters. At first I figured it was a stock-up / survivalist type situation. Then it started to become clear that much of what was going on was hype/paranoia - so I started selling off the mask cache. Once it was all said and done I pretty much sold off everything - and lived for the last year using the same 12 3M N95 masks I had kept.

I made a hefty profit on those masks - bought myself a sweet roll around toolbox and hutch and got my garage nice and organized.

[QUOTE="calsdad, post: 7206618, member: 972"] I actually don't even have a tablet. I have a laptop - which I almost never use. Mostly I work at a desktop - with a good size monitor and real keyboard.
