Hi Everyone, I'm back after being off line for the past 3 days. So annoyed at the Apple store, I've gone through 3 charge wires this past year. Lol. Maybe I use it too much. The last one I only got this past summer, and have been extra careful with it, and using it super gentle, but it always frays and wears at the same spot where it plugs into the I Pad, and then I can't charge the I Pad. Hubby has been working late the past few days so was t able to take me to the Apple store to get a new one. Man I've had withdrawal from EBN, and FB. Lol. I tried to get them to replace this wire, but they said they only replace parts when it's still under warranty, and of course it's not, so had to buy another one. Just glad to be back on line, so I guess it was worth it.
