(90,616 posts)The current one has been useful and fun -- years ago I got the Mini so I could travel with it & ended up using it exclusively -- but of late has refused to load any new apps. For instance, NextDoor upgraded and now I can't get in to check on local bulletins from County Health Dept and such. I wanted to try Insta-Cart and same thing. Wanted to get a robot vacuum cleaner -- and it won't work without the app, which won't download. And it really doesn't like Twitter.
I gave up and finally got a new device, a full-size iPad, which has something like 10 times the memory of the old one. We'll set it up this weekend.
But my emotional problem with Twitter is unlikely to go away. Sure, I get a little charge out of some comment or other repeated here, but I have no intention of reading a million Tweet-replies or following anyone. It's too much like being a lab rat pressing a lever for a pellet.
I'm already addicted to DU, so to speak. I check it first thing in the morning, and last at night. But DU is a discussion board. We come here to discuss -- we traffic in complete sentences and thoughts. I want to know what my friends think. Oh, and George Takei, as long as his comment is pasted into your post.
Rant off.
Many Thanks for the offer to help, by the way. I tend to cling to old technology until forced to change.
