After all these years my wife felt it was time for me to make the transition into the tortuous world of Apple.

Have to say I like the tablet fine. Nice feel, fast, powerful…far surpasses my Android tablet. But the learning curve is another factor entirely.

It just gets harder as I grow older…

When the spouse starts buying you Apple products, it's time to work on your marriage.

Forget working on the marriage, it's grounds for divorce! You may as well have woken up with a severed horses head in bed with you!

Someone gave me an iPad once. I feel your pain.

I have zero problems with my wife.
I do everything she tells me to do.

It's a joke

That explains why she never brought you an iPad, unlike Rich you're well behaved

Nothing says "I'm dating other people" like the gift of an iPad.

Perhaps it's like a Mafia kiss of death. Our Rich soon to be bumped off and Mrs. H to inherit one iPad, a H/PC collection and several boats

It is clear that in this forum it is better not to mention wives.

@FBustamante wives, husbands and spouses are always welcome on hpcfactor... but iPad's... that's a different story. I can't have my mod's being disrespected in such heinous fashion

All the experts seem to agree that there are two rules to a successful intergender marriage:

1) The wife is always right.
2) If she's wrong, see rule 1.

Could be a big reason why I remain unmarried (thus far) at 62. (My never-ending Windows CE device collection may be another. )
