Teaching an Old Dog

I live by my iPad. I write my blog on it everyday. I play and teach mah Jongg using it. I read and write my mail and messages. Edit photos. Play my NYT games and report my scores to my gang. So when my only 3 year old iPad started running out of memory it became a nightmare.

I was constantly deleting photos and videos, messages and movies. I offloaded every app I could. The last few months have been a clean up extravaganza. Yet I still could not get ahead of my storage problem. I could not download software updates and my iPad was mad at me all the time.

How could my beloved hate me so much. I just wanted to write and post my blog with one simple phot and it would not do it. That was it. Time for an upgrade.

There are no words Russ loves to hear more than, “It’s time to go to the Apple Store.” So off we went today. I got a new bigger, literally, iPad. It is the biggest screen and a whole terabyte of memory. I don’t even know what a terabyte is, except if it were a food it would be as fattening as a whole chocolate cake.

Now comes the pain in the neck of learning all the things this iPad can do that my old one couldn’t. I never actually learn all the features. I am lucky if I can type. I do not like the case and keyboard. I am able to type just fine on the screen. Russ was worried that the bigger screen would mean I would have Trouble typing. So far the only real issue is the period is one key over and I keep typing the backslash. I’ll get used to it.

I’m an old dog, but I like tricks so I will try and learn them. For now let’s see how I do with posting my blog. Then it’s off to play mah Jongg. Some things are the most Important..
