New Toy in Town

Hi,
 I'm typing to you from my new toy, an iPad. It was Marshall's idea to give me one for my birthday. Yes, the man who avowed NEVER to own a Mac product, broke down and purchased one for me.... So 'technically' he doesn't 'own' one, I do. Ha!!!

 It is pretty cool, I have to admit. I have figured out what I need to know how to accomplish pretty much by myself. The fancy tricks I can pick up later if needed. I have my e-mail account, a library hook up for e-books, an app for spider solitaire, Skype and all my contact info transferred.... Apple life is good.

I haven't used an Apple product in almost 30 years. The first computer I ever worked on was a Mac. I loved the way it was so user friendly and thought just like I did. I'm finding this iPad to be just as nice.... Sometimes. We do have our moments. Some of them are not pretty yet. I like the portability of this gadget. Sitting in the living room by the window is lovely as I read my email. The key board is a hoot. It is just my size and I can bop along on it. I have tried putting a book on reserve at the local library, we'll see what comes of that. I have used the camera... That is a neat trick too. I haven't figured out how to get the pictures from my iPad to come up on this site so you will just have to bear with my learning curve for now. Any and all suggestions for assistance are welcome. I'm not drowning but I could use a life line for a couple of things. Like how to get a paragraph break to work. I apologize for this all turning into one big blob of type but the blog doesn't seem to recognize the end of my paragraphs. Yet!
(I cheated and amended this  blog on our PC)


 My niece is going to be totally jealous. I know she wants an iPad of her own. I promise to leave this in my will to her.... What she does with it, since old technology is now considered anything older than 6 months, is her problem, not mine. Time to get some real work done... How to upload a Sudoku app!
