No one sold it to me....Walmart has a "special" on Thanksgiving night-a gift card of $75 along w/iPad and I broke my own cardinal rule of being one of "those" shoppers and therefore no one to blame but myself...Not knowing what the heck I was doing...thought it was sort of like a radio, just turn it on and viola......learning a hard lesson.

Now I know I will update my cable provider's router-or whatever they call it...look into phone plan, take it to an apple store and see what else I can find out.....for example, I did not know, some have "built-in" wi-fi capability and some don't??????

I did not buy this thing to sit around playing games/looking at pics...I wanted it as a portable type laptop and utilize some of the tutes available on quilting, info when traveling, or just as a sort of memo/minder....guess I was not thinking right. But I do now know, never again get suckered into Black Friday shopping...or as it is now Thanksgiving nite, just stay home and do something constructive.......
I sincerely thank all the info that you all have sent here, and I will hopefully be able to use it and get myself thinking correctly about this "thing".........
