LOL

I just posted in another forum to you about this <-- laugh this is when having to many forums does present confusion.

Anyway in that other forum - I mention that I did not know the age of your grand daughter ?

I believe at age 12 they are already into to a peer group structure - keep in mind that my grand daughter is age 14, so I do have some experience laugh

1 - Find out what her friends are using? If Kindles get that one, if iPads get that one.

It is more important that their children feel that they fit in - NOT what their parents feels is the best tech, for reasons of their own.

Just My Opinion .

Drop it. After over 2 years don't you get that it is what it is here?

Dave asked a question about his granddaughter and you had to pee in the thread as usual. I'm separating this from Dave's thread about his granddaughter.

Stop this crap. I thought I made it clear we're tired of dealing with the "this forum needs change" crap. We've heard the suggestions. Is someone feeding you this?

Hear me. Stop.

This thread was about the suitability of a Kindle for my grand babe, where's the one on the other forum was about gettin an iPad ready for another owner. They did over lap somewhat but original intent was different. I try to put the post in the right forum as it's no big deal to me

Thanks for your response to both

Dave

Watch out particularly for a streak of arrogance and lack of reason.

That would be verbal flatulence then, in your case.

Oh stop it, oh Great One laugh Don't flatter yourself.

I really did post into another forum and if you cannot find it, then thats not my fault.

Anyway
I am not even fighting about moving this thread - I really don't care.

Dave

My point is NOT about which is better Kindle -vs- iPad.
My point as I said is more about - what your grand daughters friends (peers) are using is more important for kids. That age old do I fit in or do I outcast myself thingy.
