I'm aggravated
Why is the cutting edge of technology the bleeding edge of technology??? Imagine my annoyance, consternation, angst and just sheer frustration when I encountered the following.
I have been playing with the Ipad and familiarizing my self with it. My wife has been spending about as much time as I have on it and even though it is my birthday present to myself, that is fine. Given the usage, it was inevitable that the battery was exhausted and I plugged in the supplied wall plug, jacked in the USB cord and charged it fully. We used it again and when the power went down to 25 I again plugged it in to re-charge. After a night on the charger, there was no change in the battery status. Another full night on the charger and still no improvement.
After trying some basic trouble shooting, I plugged the USB into my old laptop and that seems to work.
Now in my neck of the woods, we don't have an apple store around the corner - which was one of my concerns - so I either have to use my temporary solution until the next time I travel or spend more than the replacement cost of the wall unit in shipping costs.
I'm aggravated ...
