Me Myself and Ipad

I love my third hand iPad We have a lot in common It can't handle updates for starters Anything after 2013 Right after I turned 40 What you see is what you get It's happy to be connected Mid sentence looking something up It will forget everything When asked to do anything It's sometimes just too much And it shuts down It has a few dents too

So hilarious Maureen. It seems that you can stop time with that device. I showed my son my suitcase typewriter that I had at University. He was totally fascinated. I showed him how it worked, and we put in a piece of paper. He typed, "old school"... Jajaja

Oops, that s the problem with apple devices, once a few in launched the previous one stop getting updates and a time comes when you can t even do anything on it, you should probably go for Samsung, same happens with me, I accidentally sat on my tab, it was samsung tab s2, and it s panel isn t anywhere in Pakistan, have to wait for 6 months, and now next week it s new panel will arrive and it has cost me 12000, of this you can buy a new nice mobil, just coz I sit on it, I have to pay so much

Ah, you're sweet Faraz, thank you! :) That's crazy expensive! I'm not buying anything, I get my "digital downloads" from a dear friend, she stays up to date. I have 2 old iPads I can do what I need between them, and a decade old MacBook for back up when they fail. I'm easy to please :) xomo!

Having the odd dent makes it more personal to you, as long as it keeps writing poetry for you then all is well
