Hello, beginner here

[RosL]

Hi I'm Ros and was given my iPad as a loyalty reward by my mobile phone provider just yesterday. So I'm a complete beginner except for a few months' experience with my Android phone, which of course is different from this.

I've come here to learn and am so glad the forum's available. I'm sure I saw some sort of guide flash past when setting it up yesterday, but if that wasn't a hallucination I certainly can't find it now.

I've found a link to the manual here...thanks for that! And will use it but may need to ask for advice now and again.

I'm a retired teacher and will be 60 in a few days' time, so please excuse any slowness on my part and just put it down to age. I do!

Hi Ros, welcome, this forum is a mine of information and very well moderated. Just turned 50 myself, and also a new user, but picking things up very quickly.

Enjoy
