matrixrefugeeOur family has officially entered the 21st century: we now own an iPad. My dad won this little widget in a raffle at a plant grower's convention a month or two ago, and we -- or at least my dad and I have been eagerly awaiting it's arrival. He knew it was arriving sometime today, but imagine my surprise, when I came home from a somewhat long day of running errands to find it had arrived. Dad had it set up on the charging base, and all I had to do was download the software for it and we were ready to go!
It's gonna take a little getting used to: the pull-up keyboard is a lot of fun, but the scrolling throws me a bit, as it's the reverse of what I'm used to doing. But other than that, it is freakishly easy to use: almost easier than my laptop and slightly more portable.
Technically, I'm not the primary user for this thingy: it's my dad's widget, I'm just the one twiddling with it and figuring out how all the bells and whistles work. Which coiled take some time, heh-heh... Ah, yeah, that's it... ::shifty eyes::
