This made me giggle and I hope I can make you smile with it, too.
Once upon a time Apple came out with a new toy called an iPad I which was the greatest thing ever made (at least at Casa Elannah). Well, we had to have one and Granny got it for Christmas. She was smitten with HER iPad. It was hers and only hers and no one else could touch it unless she asked them if they wanted to use it. (We didn't need to borrow her's as we all had computers and she was mad that we weren't asking her to borrow her's-we weren't allowed to use it anyway, but she was wanting us to show her how to use it all the time...but that's another story).
Grandpa got an iPad II and he loved it. He put all his favourite music CDs on it and loaded it full of eleventy billion photos of everything from a gecko in Hawaii to Granny's last Christmas. That was sweet and his iPad has been well-loved, used and adored. His iPad is a 64 gigabyte one.
Granny's old iPod was just old and it had a bit of use as she got very good at playing solitaire and asking how to use email. (Not sending email but "using" email as in pushing the the eagle button). Grandpa bought Granny an iPod III because she needed an anniversary/Valentine's/Mother's Day/Birthday/Canada Day/I can't remember what celebration it was but she wanted a new one so he bought her one. It was a 34 gigabyte iPad. He was being economical as she didn't need the latest and greatest this time as she was only using it for solitaire, right? Well, Granny got dementia and didn't know what an iPad was in a couple of months. (Cry, cry, cry because this was sad but it was true.)
Well, Grandpa's iPad is well used, well-loved, and well, just old. He needs a new one. His one is a 64 gb and Granny's was only 32 as that was big enough for her needs. He needs a new one as his isn't working right. He could just use Granny's but his music and photos won't fit.
Moral of the story is please buy an iPad, tablet, phone, computer, device in the future with absolutely as much memory as you can afford. I think the lesson has been learned in my family, anyway.
