My bad. I didn't recognize that long, skinny "iPhone" plug as being USB as well as a charging port.

I just have to keep telling myself, "The iPad is not a computer. The iPad is not a computer..." and I shouldn't expect it to behave like one.

I'm sure that for a lot of people, even most people, the iPad is a wonderful device. To me, for my purposes, it is less useful than a chocolate teapot. (At least I can eat the teapot!)
