Old dog with a new toy!

[Gamalot]

Hi to all. New here and not very tech savvy. I got a new 32GB IPad ll/wifi and will have many dumb questions as I work my way through the learning process. This is my first Apple/Mac device and I was never really very good with my old PC. Hope to find some patient pals here who might take the time to walk me through this maze. I do have grand kids who would be glad and fully capable of getting me schooled but then I would have to share my new toy! Going now to find the right place to ask some questions I need help with. BTW, Gamalot is NOT Game a lot, it is GAry and MAry and our last name that begins with LOT.

Thanks Giradman. I did make a post in the help forum and got some good start up answers and super fast. Just what I needed. I'll probably hang over there for a while until I get up to speed.
