Good morning!!!!

Other things to point out:

you'll also need to buy her an inexpensive printer with a wireless interface. Be sure that whatever cellular router you end up also has the ability to set up a home WiFi network so the iPad can communicate with the printer.

Heck, if you like the portal idea, you could even set it up before the store visit and show it to her right on the iPad there in the store.

I will not be using a router the iPad will have 1 gig of data supplied by AT&T, so no movies at the beginning just basic.
I'm not familiar with setting up a portal but I like the idea. Do you have a sample screen shot of a portal on an iPad? How would I set it up on the store iPad?

Looks like we will both be learning about the iPad.

Another use, she can text me her grocery shopping list, or if she gets advanced like my wife just take a pic of it and text it to me.

Hey, it's good advice for me too....:shocked:

trailered little Massey to dealer, they will adjust hydro trans so it doesn't slowly creep backwards.
They were quite impressed with my renovation, cow's ear to silk purse...

Drew, you mind I ask how much the tires were? And did you get new rims or just paint? (Too tired to go back hundreds of posts...sorry)

Thanks again folks, last night was the first night alone, I was doing pretty well, then Diamond Rio痴 One More Day came on. But I値l get there, I知 not the first, nor will I be the last.

Wow, turning colder by the hour, not ready for this weather! Rain is moving in later today, low 20痴 by Saturday.

Randy, still praying for you and your family. Glad to see you posting.


Every time I think about the Sutherland Springs shooter.....the madder I get about him. Did I hear that he killed up to 8 members of one family??? Tragic if so. Basically, a whole family gone in less than a minute. The guy who shot the bad guy grabbed his own AR15 and went into the situation barefooted. Shot the bad guy twice as he came out of the church and then got another guy to drive/chase down the bad guy while calling the cops to let them know where the bad guy was going. I know it's wrong, but I wish that the bad guy lived so that the families could beat him half to death every other day in public. Not really, but it would be tempting. Hope he rots in He-double hockey sticks.

The good guy was crying almost the whole interview and said he was scared to death during the confrontation.

2 other options.
In IOS you can share Notes. Just last weekend we were setting up a small gathering with our guests to “build your sandwich” and play cards. Set up a note in Notes to collaborate the menu. Simply emailed the other two parties from within Notes and each of us could access, edit independently. Pretty neat.

Anyone here that would like to explore this feature a bit, PM me an email address and I’ll start a note to play with and share with your email.

2nd option is the built in Reminders app that can be shared if you include Mom in your Family iCloud. Wife and I use this for our shopping lists.

Both are easier and cleaner than taking pic and texting it, plus interactive.

Just go to iG Portal, sign up for an account, and start saving bookmarks. You can get to that page in any web browser, from a computer, pad, or phone. Nothing to store anywhere but on the portal itself.

Good morning. The roof is frosted over white, yet it doesn't feel that cold this morning. That is partially because the sun is shining, but mostly because after reading CWB is having MORE snow and how cold it is for Hawkeye, I really appreciate once more what a relatively mild climate I live in.

Randy, let me know if you get those low 20's - hearing your temperatures warms me almost as good as adding another log on our fire

42 high of 48 more clouds and drizzle for today

Randy still praying for you

Our 2 iPad's and 3 iPhone's all interconnect. I can answer a iPhone call or message on my iPad. This is done threw WiFi. Not going to help you Mom much.
But I doubt that 1 gigabit is enough. One nice thing you can do is setup notes or other app to use i Cloud. Then anyone that is using the same I cloud account can see the same things the other people on that account put into it. Betty and I use the same notes account. Keeping tract of our medications and doctor notes and many other list. Many grocery stores now have Apps that make a shopping list. Quick search shows that Brookshire, and HEB have it.
Taking pictures and using text to send them is one of the easiest thing to learn on a iPad. Good luck with convincing you Mom to use one. Betty learned because she uses hers to read books and play games. She also has the iPhone which passes information to iPad and back.
Oops, I see others have already posted some of the same info.

Good morning all, 37 going to 46 with a 40% chance of rain. We have had a nice rain but no idea how much. Hope to get the shop vac/cyclone cart finished today but today is haircut and shower day for the boy. It is a big stressful event for all, so we will see if I get anything done in the shop.

Don, The one thing I will say is I agree with the stylus, Mom has a big problem trying to get her finger to hit even what we see as large icons. I remember working at a farm supply place when computer spray trucks were first coming out and I ended up having to run the computer for a driver that had a permit but was afraid of the computer. I punched something in and it did not take so I started again and the guy said in a scared voice. Don't, it might blow up. Mom see's computers that way so keep it simple and slow.

Drew, You are just having to much fun, might have to come down and help.

Randy, We love you and are praying.

Have a great day. Ed
