\nSubj: Urgent iPad Question<\/p>\n

Hi Steve–I’m a hard-working, geeky American who has two kids (one in diapers), a mortgage, student loans–you know how it is.<\/p>\n

I am obsessed with the iPad; I believe it truly is the future of computing and I know it will enhance my life, my hobbies, and my creative efforts.<\/p>\n

Can you just send me an iPad? I have no reason to believe you will, nor do I honestly believe you should, but I believe there are no such things as stupid questions. (Although asking the CEO of Apple to send me a free product for no reason is as close to stupid as it gets, I admit. Good thing I’m not proud.)<\/p>\n

Regardless, thanks for the iPhone, and the iPod, and all the other amazing products you and your company have created. I heart them.<\/p>\n

Best,
\nMatt Springer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
