So now that you have this fancy schmancy iPad, you’re getting a little inquisitive right? Wow, I wonder how many different things I can do with this thing?  Trust me, I was scared to death to fiddle with this expensive thing! Luckily I have a daughter and son-in-law who are fearless in this regard and they do not hesitate to teach me how to use these things! One neat thing they have taught me is how to add widgets to my iPad.
