Theres at least two companies, one http://desktop.onlive.com/ and another one called CloudON that offer this kind of functionality if its really needed.

Having used the former its pretty decent and rather handy, but really I don't see the need to actually *have* Office on the iPad, the ability to use it briefly if needed is enough.

30mb/3mb connection with Virgin. £27 a month with no need for a phone line or paying any form of "line rental" to BT, infact I dont even have a phone line in the building.

Their trafic management policy is nicely listed here:

I get on average 33mb down and 3.1mb up according to speedtest.net if I manage to hit their cap in the evening (OnLive uses about 2.5gb per 30mins) then I get throttled down to 7.5mb which to be fair is way more than anyone round here gets on BT anyways.

Its rarely down and always works nicely, problem for most people is down to their cable network not covering most places, if you're lucky enough to get it then get it...

A timely reminded to sort my G+, I believe I've now added you.

Depending on the age of the kids involved I recommend QIMO

Sadly I had to resort to Google as slashdot doesnt like searching itself...

Journal enteries related to this are all a fair bit back in his Journal.

Awesome!

Very true, still we're a step up from the one button wonder we became in WOTLK!

Not this season no, 2.2k back in S7 and S8. (Which admittedly is rather poor, but im a PVE hero)

Like I said, different strokes for different folks, or classes, I doubt I even have 15 abilities of note, even with specific targetted clense macros and stuff :/

I play WoW, and reasonably well :(

My point was my mouse has 5 buttons and a wheel, with Ctrl, Alt and shift modifiers thats enough for me, I honestly dont think I have enough abilities to justify a squillion button mouse (L2P a non Paladin I guess), I guess my frugal mind looks at a 15 button mouse and thinks "Well I can do that with Modifiers and spend the ££s on food instead" rather than "Yay now I can avoid pressing modifiers OR bind 45 different things to my mouse hand!"

Different strokes for different folks I guess, much like the afforementioned magical AV cables.

I've got one with 2 thumb buttons etc.

Its these bloody sideways keyboard things that the cool kids have that baffle me.

Gaming mice, bought and classed as the greatest thing ever by those same people that use gold plated martian ray proof AV cables!

The extra buttons ones I guess serve a purpose if you are incapable of using modifiers or are some kind of Octopi
