Another Newbie Arrived...

[Daffo]

Hi Guys,
Daff signing onto this excellent forum...
I resisted grabbing an iPad for years - I thought Windows was all I needed... Wrong!
I bought an iPad 2 a couple of weeks ago and it's pretty amazing stuff. I know absolutely nothing about the iPad, so this forum, in the company of experts, is the obvious place to learn.
I'm looking forward to picking up all sorts of tips and tricks as I've read that an iPad is so much more than just, well, an iPad!

Regards
Daff.

Oh, first question... I notice that I'm an iPF Noob. Does someone wish to tell me what one of those is then?
