Sorry for the mix up.

Thanks AB, they work perfectly now and I've also bookmarked them as I feel sure they will also be helpful to me in the future.

Re: old versus new (laptop vs ipad)

My brother is slowly getting there, I printed him some basic instructions, for getting started and setting up his e-mail account, so at least he can send me a message, it was like a comedy of errors the other night with me on my tower comp, my brother on his Ipad, and conversing by land-line phone, both of us on loudspeaker. He goes down to his daughters tomorrow at Burton on Trent so he is taking it with him, so she can help him a bit more, but I dont think the Ipad is easier than a laptop or tower comp, I haven't ever found mine to be hard work, whereas I struggle with the Ipad.

Re: old versus new (laptop vs ipad)

Hi Dandysmom, my brother is slowly improving, he has now mastered e-mails, but to be really honest, even I am not happy with the IPads, I find them very off putting, to my mind they are too small, and very restricting, maybe a laptop would have been easier for him, but we will see what time does and thanks for the enquiry.

My iPad is just an addition to my Mac, it would never replace it. It's handy and much lighter to take on holiday than a laptop.
