I'd say disable the scriptblocker for debugging and go from there. You can always enable it later.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
The scriptblocker is basically just so I can read the New York Times without paying for it. Maybe I can find another way to do that.
flea,
but do you need the scriptblocker for every site?
Well, it's browser-level. I've disabled it for Google Calendar already, but maybe it's messing with it anyway.
And refurbished Apple stuff is pretty good, I hear?
All of my personal Apple stuff (except maybe my old iBook) are refurbs, and they have been gold. My original iPod mini, which I bought in 2005 as a refurb, still works. (I don't know where it's disappeared to in the depths of the house, but when I last saw it, it worked.)
monthly you pay for data and you can cancel at any time. so it isn't like a phone in that regard.
Oh, that's good to know.
refurb apple is where I go to first. they all come with warranties.
And they all come with data, so that makes that decision moot anyway. It's looking like the refurb iPad3 is my best bet, thanks, guys!
macworld has some pretty good starter guides for ipad. if she has an iphone, she's like 80% there.
P-C, I think the functionality of the Surface RT is too limited, and the Surface Pro is too expensive. iPad2 or iPad3 would be a good choice, but also check out the Android tablets. And with any of them, note-taking or other writing beyond short casual notes really needs a hardware keyboard.
and if you go with an ipad, feel free to hit me up at profile addy if you need app recommendations. I have bought a LOT of apps, so I'm happy to provide my assessment if it can be useful.
