I'm New

[karen_minnis]

Hi, I'm brand new to iPad and Apple. I'm a 60 year old grandma and my husband surprised me with my iPad 3 for our anniversary. I just happened upon this forum app and hope it will be a place that I can learn how to use this awesome tool. I'm struggling, but I've managed to download this app, Facebook and Pinterest. I'm heading out to read more on this forum. Thanks in advance.
