that you might not notice, but possibly could.

Rule 'd thumb- always move up in the Mac whirled.
Rule 'd thumb #B - always wait to move up in the MS whirled. You will be sorry if you do not wait. Their bugs are not like bugs bunny, but more like Darth Vader.

abandonware like our original iPad.

I don't really need the touch ID, and it seems other than the touch feature, they are the same.

I plan on upgrading from the iPad 1 shortly and am looking around now. The old one seems to be simply losing connection and shutting down on a regular basis and some of the newer features would be nice to have on the later models.

I have the same problem with mine. I find it to be on pages that are loading a bunch of information for side columns (ads and alike) that seem to be the first to crash.

I had my IPad 1 for 10 years and over the past year I have found that I can't download about 90% of the programs I want. The IOS is hopelessly out of date and it doesn't have a gyroscope. I definitely got my money's worth, but it's no longer serving a purpose.

And it's almost as heavy as my MacBook.

So, Ipad mini 2 it is!

Setting it up now. I love new toys.
