Thank you, Kristof, but I am not spenidng any more on it!
Jingle, yes, you have the more up-market version but I have a perfectly good laptop at home and just wanted the simplest tablet I could find so I can carry it easily to New Zealand. The only thing I need to work out is how to get UK TV programmes as iportal tell me it does not support their service, but when I googled a question I was told I could use Youtube or Amazon. I don't want to miss my favourite programmes whilst I am away for six weeks!
I would love to say that it was my addiction to Gransnet that forced the purchase, but in fact I do need to keep in touch with my far-flung family when I am on the move, and also to check out flights, airports, weather, etc. My usual routine is e-mails, Facebook, bank statement, travel information, then Gransnet for the remainder of the 60 mins. that the library allows!
Things seem to have been very quiet, as I expect most of you were enjoying yourself with friends and family.
