iPad – a nice device, but, not for me
I was expected to run MacOS and not iPhoneOS.
NO webcam
NO photocam
NO voice (skype and friends)
NO usb

Already in Loughborough, UK
Yesterday, after about three hours flight with Wizzair (by the way, I hate this company, they asked 30 Euros because we had 2.80 kg over 20 kg which they allowed free of charge to carry with you), we arrived in Loughborough, UK, our new “home” for next 2-3 years.
