Recently at work I won an iPad Mini (non Retina display) in a raffle. I never win anything so I was ecstatic – my coworkers joked that I was like a kid at Christmas. I FELT like a kid at Christmas! Now, I already have a much loved Kindle Fire HDX and iPad 3, so I knew I was going to rehome one of them.

I was very surprised when my mother expressed an interest in the iPad and going online. My parents did have internet access several years ago, but let it lapse because of slowness and lack of use. Since then, better broadband coverage has come to their area of Scotland, so I hope slowness will no longer be an issue. My father doesn’t seem as enthusiastic about the internet at this point. I suspect my mother was always the more interested, but previously the internet was connected to the computer my father uses for video editing and she was always too nervous to use it in…
