On: Linux on iPad

That's a new iPad, not the iPad under discussion, which is worth much less. You can often buy a replacement out-dated model for around that $75 mark, and that's ignoring the time cost of trying to fix the broken one.

This is true, but I also attach some value to avoiding the electronic waste of throwing out an iPad with mostly working parts.
