I thought about getting one for a long time because I didn't want it to sit around hardly used....and besides, I'm not a gadget-happy kind of guy. Hell, we only have two TVs and they are both 20 year-old 27" Sony CRT models.
I finally got tired of trying to do internet stuff on my iPhone and decided I want a bigger screen to work on and not be tethered to the computer all the time to do it.
