To the OP why not go in on half with your son. That way you get a nice tablet and he doesn't spend all his money.

I would, but my husband bought me a new lens for Christmas. Not a lot of $$ for a lens, but it is a lot of $$ in these tough times.

I told my son he can get me some Photoshop books. He thinks that is a boring gift. LOL But he also knows I enjoy books.

I'll wait until times are better for a tablet.

Thanks everyone!
