My son passed down his iPad 2 to me and I love it. I gave my iPad (first generation) to my granddaughter who was grateful to have it. I'm still more comfortable browsing and typing on my Mac Book Pro but I took the iPad on vacation with me recently in order to check my email and favorite websites. I take it along when visiting my children too. I have access to tons of OLD family photos on it which I share while traveling out of state to visit relatives.
