Re: Mac vs. iPad
Actually, the iPad is an “undergrown iPhone” as it lacks the “Phone” component.

Re: Mac vs. iPad
Hi list: The Ipad certainly takes more patience, but there are those who say jaws and a windows pc beat any other combination. Personally, the issue for me is learning the tech! Since Donna's support and others yesterday I have successfully created callendar events with imbedded zoom links which are imported directly in to my zoom meetings callendar i've attached several documents to the event so that I don't have to dig trough mountains of emails. I've reintroduced myself to quicknav and messaging and emailing are becoming better. with the single quicknavs, browsing safari si beautiful again. in another 2 weeks, i'm going to challenge myself to conduct my entire day (which I can assure is a very packed and professional one) entirely with the ipad, braille display and smart keyboard. I'll let you guys know how I get through with that. Thanks again everyone!
