Old iPad

I’m one of those folks that hangs onto old electronics for Way too long. This is, in part, because in the old days transferring data from one device to another wasn’t guaranteed to go well. I might need to fire up that old iPad and find a missing piece of data on of it! Well, I am on my third iPad, the first being my dad’s. The data transfer between iPad #2 and #3 was a whole different scene. They just had to hangout next each other and everything transferred. It was a miracle. I’m sure Jesus was involved. Seriously.

This left me with two old iPads. I wiped them both and knew I needed to figure out if dad’s, now a solid 14-years old, was usable. Its only real problem was space, as in not enough storage.

A gardening friend is about to have her foot fixed and is looking at a 2-month recovery. She put out on social media that she was looking for a tablet that could handle the internet and an app.

We met today, had a lovely conversation, and I gave her dad’s iPad. My dad would have really liked her. It feels good.
