Hi Guys

I've been thinking of buying a new ipad so thought I'd join to help me decide.

Hi everyone!

I had apple computers in the old days, the IIe, IIc, and GS. I had the IIe setup to operate by voice. For the GS, i went out and bought a 60GB hard drive that cost $999. The GS could only deal with 32GB so I had to partition the hard drive. How could a guy ever fill up 60GB!

At the time I was a young family man with a son, being in the Navy, we were fortunate enough to be stationed in Hawaii. Which was great, however this was before Amazon and FedEx so everything got to the island by boat. If you had the store order you something, it usually took 30 days to arrive. Needless to say, I had the Apple store call me when they got a shipment. You never knew what would be there.

I never had a Mac. I liked the other ones for their ability to change the cards inside. I know, the IIc was my wife's.

You mean 60 MB hard drives. And yes that was a ton of space back then that was hard to fill up. I had a 20 MB harddrive on my IBM PC back then and two 5 and a quarter inch floppies.

Though a GB is a thousand times more space and people are complaining. Haha :-D

Welcome to the forum.

Hello all.
I never thought I could be in love with a piece of technology.

Then I bought an iPad.

I can't keep my hands off the thing.
Who knew.

I hope to learn more about my wonderful little iPad from all of you on this site.

Hello, my name is Hayley and I have had my iPad 2 for nearly six months and it is great. I thought I would come on here to see how everyone else uses theirs and what apps people recommend as I am a bit of a techno phobe lol

My best friend the IPad

Ok well, not quite. I have a generation 1 received the 1st day the 3G model was released. I grew it with a father who was one of the first persons to graduate college with a computer science degree, a brother who builds very complex robots. We got our apple IIe in 1984 and was lucky enough to have a household running both apples and PCs so I grew up with an understanding of both operating systems. When the first imac came on the market, I bought one and told everyone Apple was here to stay, in a whole new way. Would you believe most people thought I was full of false hopes and a love of a still dying product, lol? I begrudgingly took on another PC for law school, and not a cheap one. What a mistake, it lasted 2.5 years during which time it crashed entirely 3 times, the screen broke, and it was worthless after the end of that time. I swore off PCs for good with the exception of my work machine, and even that I avoided. Since then I bought a newer iMac, now 8 years old and still running, a six year old and 3 year MacBooks.

When they announced the IPad, I knew it was exactly what I needed for work and wanted for play. And though I imagined a huge number of uses I anticipated, I never would imagine that it would essentially replace my blackberry, books, my iPod, newspapers, music, and even my TV for the most part! And on top of that, did these things better. I only regret that I don't have a camera. But I approximate that I have used it around 2000 hours at this point which in my mind is remarkable. I have turned friend after friend into an Apple lover! So that's me. Musician, lawyer, activist, Ipad lover!

Been reading these forums for about 2 years it seems, just haven't decided to branch out to contributing until now.
Thanks!
