iWork is pretty ok for the iPad but it's getting it to translate over to to a Word document is what i haven't tried yet.

Well yes, but if you're carrying a keyboard and an iPad, and a mouse, and speakers or headphones... You might as well have the laptop bag

I hate typing on mini keyboards. I've gotten used to the "no keypad" keyboard on my laptop, but anything smaller and I can't type right. mini ones screw with touch typers.

And I'm a right clicker, I need a mouse (Not that Apple's big on right clicking.

That is my whole problem with MACs. I love my right mouse click and use it all the time.

I just heard that Sprint is getting rid of Nextel. I didn't know it still existed!

I two-thumb my DROID 2 keyboard, but everything else, it's just too slow. I type 90 WPM if I actually get going.

Disney's 'Tron' movie reverse-ages Jeff Bridges

LOS ANGELES – Hollywood has famously had better luck using makeup to make young actors look old — like Russell Crowe in "A Beautiful Mind" — than making old actors look young. But the ability to manipulate images digitally could prove to be a fountain of youth for some.

In "Tron: Legacy," which opens Dec. 17, 61-year-old actor Jeff Bridges will play Kevin Flynn, at his natural age, and a computerized avatar called "Clu," who hasn't aged since around the time he was first created in the original "Tron" in 1982.

Clu bears Bridges' face, altered to make him about 35 years old, but it's grafted onto a younger actor's body.

While it may be eerie for audiences to see a new performance from a younger-looking Bridges, it was no less strange for the actor himself.

"It's bizarre. It's great news for me, because now it means I can play myself at any age," Bridges said.

There have been digitally created faces before, even on fully animated bodies. Think Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings" or Dobby from "Harry Potter."

But no movie yet has done what The Walt Disney Co.'s "Tron: Legacy" attempts — putting an actor's rejuvenated face on a younger body, and in 3-D no less. Inevitably, the 61-year-old-turned-35-year-old face will be compared to Bridges when he was actually 35.

"With Jeff, we can go rent 'Against All Odds' or 'The Fabulous Baker Boys' or 'Starman,'" visual effects supervisor Eric Barba said. "All this makes it incredibly difficult."

The filmmakers did not want Bridges' Clu looking precisely as he did in 1982. The idea was that some time had elapsed, and Clu was meant to look like Bridges in "Against All Odds," which came out two years after the original "Tron."

"In our mythology, Clu was created after the events of the first film," director Joseph Kosinski said. "This is Clu 2."

Computers have already been used to roll back the years. Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen were made a couple decades younger in scenes from "X-Men: The Last Stand" from 2006.
