Thank you for the welcome

Hi

Very new to Apple stuff but treated myself to an iPad 2 which after a bit of tweaking now talks to my laptop and exchanges files from Documents to go (which I have been using on my Palm Tungsten) and evernote so I am really looking forward to using it on a regular basis.

I am 64 yrs old and am married (42 years) with two lads who have now left home. We have three dogs and enjoy walks with those and a half an allotment which is good for the veg and keeping a little fitter.

Many thanks for the welcome and will be back to find cures for any ails that I run into with my Apple......

Yes we have a Lurcher whose ten, a scruffy Terrier cross whose seven and we have been given a Labrador who is just eighteen months old and has shook the cobwebs off in this family!!
Will check out all the links you sent soonest.
One quick question, if I have a technical question, such as Can I use my iPad charger with my iPod Touch. What forum would I post that on.

Many thanks for your warm welcome

Sounds like you have some very nice dogs, why not post a photo of them in our pet thread
http://www.ipadforums.net/off-topic/18348-post-your-pet.html

If its an issue you need help on we have a Help Forum and this question would fit nicely there. Yes you can use an iPad charger for iPod and an iPhone too and all will be fine. If you were to use an iPod charger to charge an iPad, this would also work but be quite slow to charge.
