Thank you Chris for being a sincerely helpful adult (a rarity on this ng).

I shouldn't have been so deprecating to Chris, who, admittedly, is worlds
above the three die-hard Apple kooks (Jolly Roger, Lewis, & nospam).

Jolly Roger, Lewis and nospam are fathomless despicably heartless people;
but Chris is actually trying which means his heart isn't cold as theirs is.

While Jolly Roger, true to form, proposed kindergarten apps, and while
nospam simply boasted emptily about his always fabricated imaginary iOS
functionality, at least Chris did the right thing, which was to _attempt_ to
load something (anything!) useful onto an iPad that Apple has destroyed.

I don't want to send this old lady on a doomed-to-failure wild goose chase
even as the three staunchest Apple kooks always send innocents that way.

Hence I wish to openly say that I do very much _appreciate_ that Chris is
trying to find something (anything) that can be loaded onto an iPad that
will turn what Apple wishes so badly to be worthless, into something useful.

Thank you Chris, for trying to load something (anything) onto that iPad.

If you ever do find something (anything) useful to add to that iPad, I will
let this lady know a URL to that App Store app (she's on 5.1.1 by the way).

Why do you do that? Reply to someone's post and then talk about them
without actually responding to contents of the post?

This isn't some kind of soapbox for you to preach your infinite wisdom*

*it isn't.

There you go again, making false statements. The ipad isn't destroyed and
certainly not by Apple.

Always assuming there's even is an old lady. Seeing as you always provide
proof*, we can't trust just your word.

*almost never in fact

Apple wishes nothing of the sort. Yet another false statement and further
proof of the whole point of this thread hiding behind a poor little old
lady.

Despite your regular attacks on all of us, we do have shared interests. If
only you could stop with all the noise you generate.

I did, but no acknowledgment from you.

Remember, she has _plenty_ of iPads.
All we're trying to do is turn this older iPad into something useful, Chris.

Is this a much more correct set of factual statements more to your liking?
"If this were an old Android phone, it wouldn't have this problem.
If this were an old Windows PC, it wouldn't have this problem.
It's only an old Apple iOS device that has this problem."

It doesn't matter _who_ destroyed her investment in Apple devices, Chris.

What matters is we're trying to find something (anything!) on the App Store
today that she can download and install that will turn it into something
useful again.

I appreciate that you're the only one who didn't recommend a silly game, but
even the app's you tried to install, _failed_ to install (as you noted).

All I want to find is a _single_ url to a _useful_ app she can install.
*Name Just One*

Usefulness is something only you and "the old lady" can decide.

iOS is not the same as Windows nor Android which you know very, very well.

No-one has destroyed anything.

Why do you need to install anything? It has access to the WWW so it has
utility beyond the wildest dreams of someone born before 1960.

Stop changing your objective. I gave you an option which does work and gave
guidance on how to find other alternatives. That's all you're getting as
you're more than likely acting in bad faith.
