Thanks to Steve, Mike and of course Matt for the responses.

Sorry, my goal was to use the I-pad as I do my current laptop, live. Of course now I realize I cannot do that, but it was just a shot as I was going to buy an I-Pad for other reasons anyway and thought I'd pop for the one grand version if I could get the double use from it.

Nahh, no need to buy a Mac, my old Lenovo (and a new notebook version I keep setup in my studio) both work fine for running BIAB live.

Thanks again guys,
