"Good luck Finding something that looks (and works) as well for a significantly lower price."
amazon is your friend here
"for the price of an even 1/2 decent tab from any manufacturer I could have an iPad"
funny, because on amazon I couldn't find a non ipad tablet for more than £400, or an ipad for less than £425.

I point out that there's lots of ways to do all those things that are more efficient even than clicking on a panel. You can switch workspace with ctrl-alt-up or ctrl-alt-down.
So to change desktop all i need to do is :
put down my coffee, let go of my mouse, take my eyes off the screen to look at the keyboard, press ctrl and alt with my left hand, press up (or down) with my right, look back at the screen to check I'm on the right desktop, repeat as necessary and finally go back to the mouse and pick up my coffee.
How much more efficient that is than the old-fashioned way of "move mouse two or three inches, click on icon in desktop switcher applet, continue working"
With the old-fashioned way, you never even got the chance to look away from the screen!

basically, unless the fuel rods have broken, the radiation will be negligible and disappear in seconds. If the fuel rods have broken, the radiation will be low to negligible but last longer
of course nobody will tell you this on the news, they will just say "radiation - we're dooomed, doooomed I tell you!"
