Really? And I just did a live chat with a rep and made sure I could return it if it turns out to be a dud. The guy said "sure no problem, you have 30 days.

I'll know within one day if I can get this thing to do ANYTHING.

I feel like I did when I got my first VCR 30 years ago, and I had to get my neighbor to come into my house and show me how to program the stupid clock (never mind program the vcr to tape a show).

I looked at her while she was pressing buttons (don't forget this was 30 YEARS AGO), and i told her "I can NEVER learn to do this"

Look what I can do NOW!!!!

HOW FUN!!!

Melody
P.S. I think it's all the Methyl B-12 I take and I eat wild samon and avocados. My brain WORKS!! lol

I can go you one better. When you indicated it was on sale for $59.99 I FORGOT that I had put the link on this thread. I thought YOU were giving me the link. Once I went back and re-read my postings I said out loud "Oh, I originally put the link to this item here". You found that it was on sale for $59.99. You saved me twenty bucks.

I just went to where it said 26 images. Didn't see any 26 images. About 5 or so. The side view, the back view, AND IT HAS A STAND!!!

How cool.

Oh, it says it has a default that if you don't touch the screen for 15 seconds the screen goes away. So if one is watching a video and not touching the screen for 15 seconds, what does one do?

Not sure what this means?

Are you a tablet knowledgable person? lol

Hopefully thats not the case, but maybe IF something like a vid or game or whatnot is running then it wont hibernate....hopefully.

And, no, I am not tablet savvy at all, but I research enough for customers and buy for others that I have a mild understanding....

Well, your mild understanding is WAY more than what I know. And even more than a friend of mine.

Here's the conversation I had 15 minutes ago.


Melody: "Guess what, I just bought a tablet".
She: "What's a tablet?"
Melody: "Do you know what an Ipad is?"
She: "Oh yeah"
Melody: "Well, that's a Tablet"
She: "Oh, I thought it was a notebook, I have one of those"
Melody: "You have a notebook, that means you have a laptop"
She: "No, I have a Notebook, an Iphone (which she has never used), a Laptop (which she uses)
Melody: 'What do you mean you have a Notebook?"
She: "Oh we got one free, it's a square thing with a flat screen and it has no keyboard"
Melody 'YOU HAVE A TABLET???"
She: "No, It's called a Notebook" And no she never used it.

I give up.
rofl.
