New to iPad, not to Apple products

[Humann]

So I just got my first iPad (a 64GB iPad 1 WiFi) a few months ago. I tried a couple of Android tablets but never had a satisfactory experience with any of them. The iPad, though, is delivering the expected tablet user experience--or at least it was until it started rejecting all attempts to charge it. That that complaint is detailed in another thread in the iPad 1 forum.

I've been using Macs almost since they first came out. I think I first laid hands on one in college in 1986 and acquired one of my own when I was in grad school in 1991. Since then, I've owned at least a dozen Macs, six of which I presently own and three of which are operational. I've also got a couple of iPods, which I mostly use for listening to audiobooks and old radio shows.

Hi Humann - welcome to the forum again (believe I just left a post in your charger post)!

Just curious about the Pines of Carolina location - I'm retired & living in Winston-Salem; but spent 2-years in the Southern Pines/Pinehurst area at Ft. Bragg in the mid-70s (one of the 4 radiologists @ Womack Army Hospital) - hope that you enjoy you stay here! Dave

Yes, I saw your post on my other thread. Thanks. These days I'm in Greensboro, have been for the past nine years, but I've lived all over the two Carolinas and claim both states as "home".
