Question, SM, about the pro — does it have a way to work with online programs that require a computer? I don’t want/have a computer, but the iPad is stopped Cold by programs like making a photo book, making an ancestry.com book, saving 23andme “hard data” for up,leading elsewhere, etc. I’m betting the Pro doesn’t help with that, but I thought you’d know.

Frankly, Yaelle, I don't know because I haven't tried those websites. Such sites are usually a problem because they use Microsoft Tools for the construction of their pages which is proprietary to Microsoft. When I run across them I write to the CEO of the company and inquire if they are in the business of promoting Microsoft products or their own products or services. It's amazing how quickly their websites suddenly become universally compliant with all devices. I never try to make such complaints through their IT or website departments. You are likely to get abuse or blamed for not "using a real computer to connect to their website." The CEO is never aware the IT or website designer is limiting access.

Ok; I will do the same. Agreed. They limit access. They could allow any number of workarounds that don’t require building an app for mobile, but, hey, if they are doing well, they should do that too. Thanks.
