Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I have an iPad mini and the email has stopped working - it still displays, but I can't go from the message displayed to the in-box. Can't even delete the message displayed. It seems to be locked up completely, although it's displaying one new message.

I've tried turning the iPad off, backing it up, whatever I could think of. Any suggestions?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Have you tried using a different email app, like Outlook?

huh ... nope, hadn't thought of that - I figured since it was what came with the iPad, it was what you had to use with the iPad (sorry ... I've never used anything Apple before I got this ... mostly I use it to send photos of my manicures to a couple of friends)

Our wings are not tired

Have you restarted the iPad? Hold down the power and home button until it reboots.

um ... which is the home button?

Ann, that's a ferret.

The button you use to close apps. Hold them down together until the screen goes dark or, if you want to be particularly sure, until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

Thanks! I'll give it a try (I SAID this is the only Apple device I've ever used).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I literally *just* heard about that on my commute home. It is most excellent news unless you happen to be on a TWC block without an Apple TV.

(I honestly haven't decided yet if I'm going to pay for it or just keep trading with my parents - they have my Netflix login and I have their HBOGo. So it's not *exactly* stealing...)
