Our modem went down. With so many people using it we have exceeded our monthly data quota. Moved to dial up speed, which is useless with so many using it.

I continued typing a commentary for more than 2 hours, saved it into the iPad Notes, where it still is. Then I went on typing for another hour or so before losing that into the ether.

So I gave up and came home.

Had a nap, then opened my desktop, by can't figure out how to transfer the file from the iPad to my desktop. I have no wireless connection here for the iPad.
Does anyone want me to continue trying to add the rest of my commentary. g.e.smith@clear.net.nz

Otherwise I have had a few enjoyable though frustrating days.

Bye
