Bob Dole got one just so someone in the IT department would be able to effectively support the faculty and staff who ended up buying the things. You'd be surprised at how useful it can be.
The best example Bob Dole can think of to make is likening it to something like a Franklin Planner. If you just thought of and used a FP as a calendar, it was overpriced and bulky and pretty much useless. If you allowed yourself to fundamentally change the way you planned and worked, it was not useless at all.
A tablet probably isn't going to replace Bob Dole's desktop computer any time in the near future, but it sure as hell helps with organizing and planning, saves a lot of duplicated effort, and once you adjust your habits, it saves time spent retrieving information or looking for a computer so you can access that spreadsheet back on your desktop that you neglected to print out and bring with you.
