New Member saying hello

[Chrisval7]

Hello to the world of iPad users.
I am a new arrival to this world, as my daughter gave me an iPad2 for my birthday.

It is a steep learning curve and she is probably regretting she gave me the dratted thing. (I have made a few phone calls asking "how do I...". Maybe I will ask a few of those questions here now
