Members Lucky Posted January 7, 2012 Members Posted January 7, 2012 Desperate measures! In my almost sad, pathetic attempt to keep up in the posting contest, I have purchased an Ipad2. This means that I will now post every minute. Top that, EXPAT, Of course, I won't post unless I have something to say,,,won't I? Now I just have to figure out how to get the font large enough for me to see it! Quote
Members Lucky Posted January 7, 2012 Author Members Posted January 7, 2012 The IPad 3G with wi-fi is kind of slow. I pushed size 7 on the font and still can hardly see it! Quote
Members RA1 Posted January 7, 2012 Members Posted January 7, 2012 I would be favorably impresses by the flurry of posts IF there were not a contest involved. Best regards, RA1 Quote
Guest FourAces Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 The IPad 3G with wi-fi is kind of slow. I pushed size 7 on the font and still can hardly see it! Lucky on behalf of Apple fans everywhere welcome Keep in mind that if you are using the 3G connection it will be slow.. just like your mobile phone might be. Its best to only use the 3G when you are not in a WIFI area. However, WIFI should be very fast pretty much anywhere. The font is a bit hard to control just from the options menu. That is why you should use pinch to zoom to enlarge areas you are reading. Hope this helps some. If so please send a donation toward my next Apple purchase a iMac Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 It seems sort of odd to me to spend hundreds of dollars on a device simply to help yourself win hundreds of dollars. Quote

Members RA1 Posted January 7, 2012 Members Posted January 7, 2012 I meant a general flurry, not just Lucky. It is difficult to tell when he has a flurry or just his usual "flood" of posts. Best regards, RA1 Quote
Guest gcursor Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Lucky: Did anybody tell you that the iPad doesn't POST stuff to the internet by itself? Somebody actually TYPES the stuff in and posts it. I just wanted to make sure somebody explained that to you before buying the iPad. gcursor Desperate measures!

Guest hitoallusa Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Guys let's get along. We have a very short time in this world so let's do something great with our time and energy. Quote
Members Lucky Posted January 7, 2012 Author Members Posted January 7, 2012 I am sure that we are all the best of friends. I know that I, for one, take the contest lightheartedly. I don't expect to have the most posts. So let's all just have fun with it! Quote
