I am a new iPad 3 user. purchased it for my wife so she would have a light weight device to surf the net and facebook.

Used to be a die hard Mac enthusiast until the employer went all PC. I have left that employer and I am self employed and semi-retired, mainly tired.

I like new technology, but the tablet sector is new to me. I am used to desktops. Very new at threads. Have not done a thread in over two decades, so forgive me if I screw this up to bad.

I have a 32MB iPad 3 w/o cellular. Have enough hot spot in the neighborhood for connections.

I use it for reading .pdf's. Have PDF Expert for the reading program so I can comment the documents. PDF Expert's documentation leaves much to be desired and they have no support what so every. Been 48 hours since I posted a question and still not answer in the mail box.
