    PADDs are proper computers- they can run arbitrary code.

    You sure about that? I thought the acronym stood for Personal Access Display Device.

    I was under the impression that they were used almost exclusively to display information... Maybe some basic data-entry capabilities. Something along the lines of a modern-day ereader.
