Thank you all for the great advice, definitely appreciated.
No I don't have malware, Frybabe, and have a good anti virus program, but I appreciate hearing about those programs like Secunia PSI. They sound interesting. There is a place you can turn off the pop up ads in Firefox 14.1 but I can't find it, they keep referring to it on the internet but I can't seem to find it. Very annoying even tho I HAVE the don't allow pop ups box checked already.
Jane and Larry, thank you for the info on the Ipad3. Is there any heating problem like there was with 2? Do you find it overheats and how is the battery?
I love the Ipad I have, and am going to give it to my grandson who wants one for Christmas and get the Ipad3, because the very idea of it typing for me is just beyond super. I type so much (and so poorly) I've gotten to where I can barely write a note in pen to anybody, my handwriting is absolutely unreadable. Kind of like a maiden aunt in our family years ago whose letters were much anticipated and discussed even tho it was almost impossible to make out what she'd actually said, much fun trying to figure it out. My hand (as they used to call handwriting) is the same.
We've gained so much technically and lost so much in the area of communication.
Is the 3 the same size and is it heavier? I may go look at them tomorrow at the Apple Store in Greenville.
Larry what fantastic things are you doing on your new Ipad? I know you are doing something interesting. I love the games but play a computer instead of a live person, tho I have been on trains where people played each other, both on their own devices, with great hilarity.
Jean, are the refurbished ones a lot cheaper?
