I have seen this a few times. I like the idea but is crowd funding a new trend that can be used in the military or is it just a new fad. I have seen this benefit people such as a gentleman who walked to work get a new car. I don't know if this is on the same level. I did see another soldier I knew do this. I am just wondering is this is going to be trend. Does Zach really need a computer that bad? On a side note I don't know why anyone would try to use a tablet for military anything, beside RallyPoint of course.

It's a great tool for legitimate reasons. Self entitled Soldiers using their position to attain pleasure or profit? Nope. I was digested by this one. "Hey my Apple iPad that I could afford to buy just doesn't cut it. Now I 'need' a computer for my military Soldier-guy stuff. Did I mention I'm a Soldier?"... Come on guy. You're making us all look like money grubbing, entitled fools. No patients for this garbage.

All Military bases have libraries with computers for Soldier use. Also they could save some money up and buy it the old fashioned way. I don't think this is appropriate for Soldiers to use it this way.

I did a dual boot with a MAC OS once. I just didn't like it.

I love my MacBook Air. This is my first Mac, and I do not think I will ever buy a Windows PC again. What does everyone dislike about Apples operating system?

CrowdFunding is not a fad, as there are well over 500 platforms now with world wide access. The Obama Administration has introduced legislation for Equity CrowdFunding. The door is now wide open for Reward Base and Donation Based Platforms. People are raising money via the internet for everything from business expanion to paying bills. I'm using one of the donation based platforms with the goal of becoming a full time project manager to help the food banks in my area.
