    I'd also like to point out that one of you on this page, most likely Alhanelem, posted using an iPad....

    I'm afraid you're not telling the whole truth either. You use your windows machine more than your linux/android

    And that is where you would be wrong, I am on my phone a lot more than my Laptop and when I go on my laptop more often than not I boot into Ubuntu.

    I take it your sig is hosted on your own website? It's the only legal way you could see who is looking at the forums, then you would have to go through the logs to monitor connections, Then you have to trace my MAC to my user name to say "you use Windows more than Linux" which will take time to recognize a pattern.

    Even then it only shows that I visit these forums on Windows more, must be coincidence but I assure you I don't live on these forums, I do other things as well, The only way you can definitively say I use Windows most is if you have installed spyware on my laptop and are tracking me.

    Finally figured it out? so you know I'm not lying. But yeah, you're right. I grepped my logs for way longer than I should have. The count without narrowing it down to ffxiv site is 130, which was what I was working off of. But once I narrow it down, it's only 8 returns.

    It's not a very good way of saying how people use their comps, also in that log you showed there is no mention of an iPad just mac OSX where iPad runs iOS.

    Using the logs only shows us when we are accessing you sig, or we are on a page you have posted I, so it only shows how access this site.

    Yes and no. I thought the log said 130 accesses in a span of 2 days with windows. If you're accessing a page 130 times 65 times a day, there's little likelihood that you've got time for much else on another computer.

    Oh, I saw 2 different ipad accesses from 2 different ip's per Alhanelem reply. They were also the closest to his actual post date and time. But this last one, obviously, it didn't happen. Well, log reading and data mining isn't an exact science yet.

    I don't own an iPad, sorry. If I get a tablet, it would probably be the windows 8 tablet Microsoft has coming. Whatever portable device might be in my future, I want it to run the same software that my desktop will run. Neither Android nor windows phone nor IOS does that (remote streaming doesn't count)

    Why don't you just get a netbook or laptop? The tablet you speak of has a battery life of 4-5 hours tops. Tablets that do exactly what you speak of have been around about a decade. And they we're a total flop. Windows and software designed for it was not very usable on the tablet medium.
