Thanks for the pointer, Dave. I hadn't noticed the dates on the other posts.

We bought an Epson WP-2540 as my earlier Lexmark couldn't handle Air Print.. It works with DW's iPad2, but does have one quirk that I haven't resolved yet. It has a "sleep timer" that partially shuts it down if no print jobs have been sent. The longest time interval is 10 minutes and it can't be...

We've been Labrador owners for most of the last 50 years. We currently have two yellow males, Bailey is 11 years old, Angus is 10. We rescued Bailey from our local Humane Society 6 years ago and Angus through Seattle Purebred Rescue 18 months ago. These two will probably be the last ones. At...

DW got an iPad 2 as a gift from one of our children. I think her company upgraded from iPad 2 to a later version and gave the units the employees had been using as a gift. Daughter passed it on to Momma. I've been a Microsoft guy since Win 3.1 and have skills in archaic programming languages...

Marilyn: Thank you VERY much for that link. I have dowloaded the "iTunes for Windows" program and will be trying it out this evening. Frank

Mickey: The "other" computer I use is currently an eMachines tower running Win XP. I expect to switch to a lap-top with Win 7 shortly, for general use. As the XP box is not powerful enough to handle Win 7. I plan to keep the old tower but not use it on-line due to is security vulnerability...

Copying .jpg files from Windows to iPad2 I've been scrolling through the Forum for most of the afternoon, to try to find an answer to this question, but without success. My wife just returned from a 10-day trip to visit family in Japan. She has about 120 photos on her camera and our son has...

They're already stored on my Win XP computer. A large file of photos our son took were transferred through his employer's file sharing system. I copied my wife's camera photos onto my computer. They still remain on her camera's memory. My wife takes her iPad to gatherings with her friends and...

I know that Steve Jobs went out of his way to make Apple devices as incomptible as possible with Microsoft systems. This is a real PITA now that DW has an iPad and I'm still a Microsoftie. She has just been to japan to visit our son, D-I-L and 2 year old grand-daughter and has come back with...

You don't have a combination for us! We have Verizon Cellular phone, used very sparingly and only a few people have the number. It's intended for us to use to call people when we are away from home - robo-calls are deflected that way. A Comcast land-line is our primary phone since cellular...

Two male Yellow Labradors, Baeiley and Angus, both rescued (one from our local Humane Society, the other from Seattle Pure-bred Rescue). They're both 10 years old. We've had Lab companions since shortly after we were married in 1964, except when we were living in "no pets allowed" rentals. The...

We have an all-Comcast set-up at present (phone, cable TV and Internet). Comcast recently made a change I'm not happy about. Our land-line phone, which is our primary phone, now goes through the same modem as our internet hook-up. We have relatively frequent power outages, as much of the power...

I'm a long-time Windows guy (W 3.0), also proficient in Algol, Fortran, Honewell Assembly Language and Singer-Link GP4 Assembler. Back in my engineering apprenticeship (1960 or so), I even did some binary coding on a UK computer called DEUCE. It took up about 3500 square feet of office space and...

The obvious solution is the give the iPad to someone as a gift and buy another Windows laptop. DW got an iPad as a gift, replacing an ASUS Net-book that got a Pinot Grgio bath while powered up. I've been an MS user since Win 3.0. I really dislike the iPad - too gimmicky/smart-alecky and so...

DW uses it in place of her now-deceased ASUS netbook, mainly for games, e-mail, facebook. As we improve our familiarity with Apple software, we'll probably get into additional activites. I've been a Windows user since 3.0, currently using XP on my desktop. I started using computers in...
