<blockquote><p><strong>SIDE NOTE</strong>:  Over the past few weeks, I&#8217;ve been going through recent posts and loading the picks into a spreadsheet.  Sure, it&#8217;s glamorous and exciting work, but let&#8217;s get past that.  So, I made it back to show 95, and then my pal <a href="http://jamesthoms.com/">James</a> worked a little PHP/MySQL magic making all the picks searchable/filterable by keyword, host, and/or &#8216;type.&#8217;  It seems to be working pretty good.  If you&#8217;re looking for older stuff, you should be able to <a href="http://mbwpicks.com/finder">pull it up here</a> really fast.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s super easy (I think) to pull up all of Merlin&#8217;s picks, or get all of Andy&#8217;s hardware picks, etc.</p>
<p>Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments!</p></blockquote>

No official picks but lots of iPad talk.  What do you guys think?  Getting one or taking a pass?  If buying, what&#8217;s the move &#8211; wait for 3G, or just get the WiFi version.  Better to use with a MiFi?  Which version do you have on your want list?
