DeskControl Features
Standard Features
The standard features of DeskControl include:
Web-based Email (WebMail)
Using DeskControl WebMail, staff are able to access, read and send emails from any web browser. This makes WebMail ideal for businesses with employees who travel or who are regularly out of the office because they can access their email immediately by simply logging in to DeskControl via any internet-enabled PC or laptop. Using WebMail also means there is no need for the worry or the expense of configuring email clients on your staff's individual desktop machines.
My Calendar
With DeskControl's calendar functionality, staff can maintain a calendar of all their appointment dates and times from any web browser. By enabling your staff to set the start and finish times of their meetings and appointments, and view their calendar on either a daily or weekly basis, DeskControl can help them to take control of their day and organise their time more effectively.
My Office
My Office can provide your staff with a directory of important shared company resources, such as fax machines, printers, file servers and terminal servers. Each of these devices can also have a status assigned to them (e.g. away being repaired), to provide staff with a single point of contact to quickly and easily find out information about these critical company resources.
Employee Profiles
The first time an employee logs into DeskControl, they are prompted to enter their details, such as name, mobile phone number and address. Your company's office manager can specify what information should be collected from each employee and can also include such information as tax file number, date of birth, first aid qualifications, and next of kin etc. This profile is only visible to that employee and any authorised managers, such as the human resources department. Staff can easily change their details at any time in the future to help to ensure that they are always up-to-date.
Staff Phone Directories
One problem that staff in many businesses face is being unable to find an accurate list of telephone extensions, mobile phone numbers and other staff contact details when they urgently need it. Through the Staff Phone Directories feature, DeskControl helps to alleviate this problem by maintaining a central list of employee contact details that can also be easily searched and sorted. As each employee is responsible for keeping their own details up-to-date, the lists are always current, correct and at your fingertips.
Knowledge Trees
Knowledge Trees give you the ability to manage and control important company documents, such as procedure manuals, human resource documents and company policies, all from the one central location. This information is organised into a series of trees and different permissions can be set for each tree to restrict which employees are authorised to access it. For example, company-wide trees display information that all staff are allowed to see, whereas private group trees can be used to restrict access and editing capabilities to a particular group of employees only.
Hard Drive Document Storage
With the DeskControl Hard Drive, you can store files that need to be frequently accessed by various people in your office in one secure, central and easy to access online location.
Easy Login
Logging in to DeskControl is easy because there's no need for your staff to remember a separate username and password - they simply use their email address and password to access the DeskControl interface.
Take Control
By allowing you to set specific permissions for particular staff members, DeskControl affords you greater control and accountability over the use of your company intranet. There are two roles that can be assigned to your staff, both of which can be easily and quickly enabled through Mission Control. They are:
Systems Administrator
The Systems Administrator receives all help requests from staff
Ideal for internal helpdesk staff and knowledge officers.
HR Manager
The HR Manager receives access to all employees' contact and personal details
Also manages user permissions, such as setting staff access to specific add-on products.
Additional Features
Additional fees apply for using the following add-on products and services:
Upgrade your WebMail to a Managed Exchange mailbox
Managed Exchange is a hosted offering of Microsoft Exchange 2003 by a third party, which can be linked to your DeskControl interface to replace your WebMail.

All you need to do to be able to utilise Managed Exchange is to have a hosted mailbox with DeskControl.

Anti-virus protection
- Every email sent to, from or stored in a Managed Exchange mailbox is checked four times using best-of-breed anti-virus software, helping to protect your business against viruses.
Mobile access
- All Managed Exchange mailboxes support mobile access. With a GPRS-enabled PDA or SmartPhone, you can access and update your contacts, calendar and email from anywhere at anytime.
Email back-up
- All your valuable information held in emails, calendars and contacts is stored and regularly backed up, minimising the risk of lost email records and the impact of incidents such as PC or laptop corruption.

DeskControl SMS
SMS (or text messaging) is pervasive. The majority of mobile phones on the market today have SMS capabilities and person-to-person messaging has become extremely popular. It is expected that automated SMS messages will exceed the current rate of person-to-person usage over the next few years.
With DeskControl SMS, you can use text messages to contact people fast, while at the same time, slashing your communications costs. DeskControl SMS gives you the ability to:
SMS Sender
- Send a text message to a mobile phone or a group of mobile phones all at once directly from DeskControl.
Register Your Mobile
- By registering your mobile phone number in DeskControl, you can make any messages sent using SMS Sender appear as if they have been sent directly from your mobile phone. Any reply message will then be sent back to your mobile phone. You can also allow email to be auto forwarded to your mobile phone number as an SMS message.
SMS Log
- Similar to an email delivery receipt, you can log your SMS messages sent from DeskControl to give you the ability to easily track their status through to the recipient's handset.
SMS 24 Hour Assistant
- Enables you to locate staff contact details stored in DeskControl via your mobile phone 24 hours a day.
In order to use these SMS services, you simply need to purchase credits by logging into DeskControl, selecting the desired quantity, and entering your credit card details.
Alternatively, if you have your own SMS application and wish to use our SMS platform, please call
1800 55 85 88
(ext. '2' for Sales).
Australia and New Zealand Support
You can send and receive SMS messages to any GSM mobile phone within Australia and New Zealand. The SMS capability has been tested on the following GSM networks:
Vodafone AU
Vodafone NZ
Optus AU
Telstra AU
Telecom NZ
International Support
Although it is possible at present to send SMS messages to most other counties that have deployed a GSM network, the carriers are still in the process of finalising the cost of text messages interchange (exchanging messages from carrier to carrier). It is a possibility that, in the future, additional fees may apply for text messages that are sent to and/or received from international destinations, or the ability to send and/or receive text messages from a particular country may be withdrawn.
Global Dial-Up Internet Access
Rather than your staff having to remember a separate username and password for their dial-up internet access accounts, your staff can access the internet using their DeskControl login details. This makes global dial-up internet access ideal if you have employees who travel overseas and require internet access for the duration of their trip. As your office manager receives detailed usage reports, you can easily keep track of how much internet access time each employee has used.
Global Dial-Up Internet Access features global reach with 300 plus Point of Presence (POP) in 39 countries around the world, and can be enabled through Mission Control on a per mailbox user basis at a cost of $1.80 per hour flat rate (or part thereof).
If you would like to know more about DeskControl global roaming dial-up internet access, please call

There are a few artists that I would like to watch step-by-step,
drawing in their sketchbooks or painting in their studios.
Okay, more than a few, but after seeing Van Gogh's drawings, he would
definitely be at the top of my list.
I was, of course, aware of Van Gogh's painting output and
style, but his drawings were a shock to me. I had no idea he created such
incredible line drawings. But I shouldn't have been surprised. The frenetic
energy that inhabits his paintbrush would certainly translate to even his
simple drawings.
In fact, Van Gogh had very strong drawing ideas. He believed
the practice was the root of everything, and he had a robust appreciation for
draftsmen across history including Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Daumier, and Howard
What I found most intriguing during my study of his drawing
oeuvre was that the artist went through a period of contour drawing and line
drawing, and found appealing aspects to both. I often feel it is immature of me
to enjoy drawings with strong outlines, but if Van Gogh found something in them
that worthwhile that's enough for me.
I'm also enchanted by the way Van Gogh mixed his materials,
often mixing and matching graphite, gouache, colored chalk, pen and ink, oil
paint, and watercolor. He would also often use multiple pens: reed, quill, and
an ordinary fountain pen, to create a variety of lines. The results are
hypnotic and strangely delicate--there's an ornamentation to them that I've
never ascribed to Van Gogh before. Looking at his drawings was like "meeting"
his work for the first time.
Studying Van Gogh's drawings could be a lifelong drawing
tutorial for me, with every new drawing teaching me a new way of seeing and
making marks. But I don't live by Van Gogh, alone. There are so many great
drawing resources that I'm glad to have at my side as I progress, including Sarah Parks Kit of the Month on drawing basics, figure drawing, and more. These resources
could be right for you, too. Enjoy!
P.S. What artist's drawings do you really enjoy or are inspired by? Leave a comment and let me know.
And if you are really "lustful" for line, consider our very first Zen Doodle Tangle online course, starting tomorrow. It's going to be great!
I, too, am a fan of Van Gogh's drawings. I fell in love with them in my college years (I am now 71), especially the drawings of the workman's boots and their rough hands. They have inspired me to continue to draw for many, many years.
So funny you just wrote a piece about Van Gogh. My wife and I just drove up to Philadelphia to see the big Van Gogh show at the Phila. Museum of Art. What strikes me is how much his best oil paintings mimic the line work he used in his ink drawings. Of course he was great with color, but underneath that was a super-charged energy from his drawing skills. Sad that he was only with us for about 10 years as a painter.
Also can't leave without a mention of your praise for Hale's Drawing Lessons from the Great Masters book. When I was a beginning art student at the Art Students League of New York I came across that book and fell in love with it. For a few years it was my bible. Must have read it through ten times and studied its reproductions 100 times each. A total classic!
You have left me smiling this morning.
I am a retired physician who loves to draw. Have no formal art education but have attended several workshops. I am totally impressed by Anthony Ryder! Love his drawings and find him to be an exceptional teacher. Thanks for your columns, always well done and enjoyable.
I am not a artist, but Art Lover. Really, I also shocked when saw the paintings of Vango..His colours are so fascinated to me that, Now i am try to making my son as a painter. Good piece about Vango, thanks
Aravinda Navada
I am also a life long fan of Van Gogh. I had the oppurtunity to view several of his works in person while working in London several years back. Seeing the work of a master such as him is something that you never forget. Personally, I am drawn to creating pencil works of art and seeing ones such as you posted inspires me to push my work even further and try new techniques. Thank you for this inspiring and enlightening post!
I had the good fortune to see some of Van Gogh's drawings on exhibit in Philadelphia; they were extraordinary. Many were not "studies", but were meant to stand alone and they certainly did.
I've also seen Edward Hopper's wonderful drawings, which also aren't as appreciated as they might be. The Metropolitan Museum of Art saw fit to exhibit some, along with the paintings he ultimately created that had similar content. It was great to see them together and notice how influential the drawings were on the final images.
As I read another great Courtney Article, I found myself agreeing with every word - I might have written it myself! From the feeling of immaturity if I admired a drawing with outlines, to thinking that I'm sure I will learn from his drawings for the rest of my career. Not being a huge fan of his frenetic style, I am a fan of his workings, if that makes sense. These drawings are wonderful - and strangely delicate. I never thought I'd be inspired this much by Van Gogh, so thank you, thank you, thank you for presenting them here. Linda
Sherry Camhy
Van Gogh actually cut reeds that grew abundantly in the country side of France into to different size points to use to do his ink drawings. You can read more about his way of working in my article in Drawing Magazine entitled, INK INITIATION.
I like "Study of Lion Heads" by Delacroix. It's a pencil drawing in the collection of Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. I saw a Gauguin show at the Chicago Art Institute that included his sketchbooks. In it was a street made contour drawing of a whole dog done with one line. And don't forget those reed pen drawings of Rembrandt's.
I've always loved Egon Schiele's drawings - that great exploratory line.
Mauricio Lasansky's series of drawings about the holocaust are harrowing and unforgettable.
Betty Goodwin's mylar drawings are astounding - atmospheric and textured.
Wow! Never seen drawings of Van Gogh! I wish there was a book of all his drawings. Thanks so much for sharing this!!
The best drawing have seen were made by Rembrandt

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The prosecutor plans to seek first-degree murder charges against a St. Paul man accused of dismembering his wife.
The Star Tribune (http://bit.ly/TGzlqS) reports 34-year-old Steven Roger Johnson appeared in court Tuesday ready to "resolve" his case. But Ramsey County Attorney John Choi is seeking first-degree murder charges from a grand jury.
Johnson is currently charged with second degree murder. He's being held on $2 million bail.
Charges allege Johnson fatally shot and dismembered his 32-year-old wife, Manya Jewel Johnson, in their home Jan. 6 after she announced plans to leave him and take their son. The complaint alleges Johnson placed her remains in plastic bins and stored them in a friend's garage in White Bear Lake.
The complaint says the friend alerted police after Johnson told him what he'd done.

Vermont broadband expansion proceeding in Orange CountyThe Associated Press | September 12,2013MONTPELIER - The Vermont Telecommunications Authority says broadband Internet service is expanding in northern Orange County.
The first seven miles of the Orange County Fiber Connector project are in service and a total of more than 32 miles of the 36-mile route have been hung on utility poles.
The route begins in Chelsea, generally follows Route 113 to Thetford and then Route 132 to Sharon.
The authority compares the fiber to interstate highways with a large capacity to transmit data. Internet service providers then connect customers to the fiber network.
Gov.

Students attending or planning to attend Montgomery College are invited to explore the possibility of forming a pep band to perform at sporting events beginning in the fall.
The college "has a wonderful music department with a full chorus, concert band, orchestra, and jazz ensemble, but there is no pep band, so ... with the approval of the ... Music Department, [we] are hoping to get one started for 2013-14," Betty Francis, a college staff member, wrote in an email. "Our first step is to gauge the interest" among students in forming a band.
Interested students may email Francis with their contact information, the instrument they play and the number of years they have been playing at firstname.lastname@example.com before the end of July.

CRESTVIEW — The Florida Department of Education has approved a Bachelor of Applied Science in Management and Supervision program at Northwest Florida State College. Open enrollment is available now; classes will begin Aug. 19.
The new degree aims to meet Florida Gov. Rick Scott's recent challenge for state institutions to offer bachelor's programs costing students $10,000 or less.
Enrollees of comparable regional programs can expect to pay between $23,000 and $25,000 at a Florida public university over four years and up to $33,000 per year at a private Florida college, Ty Handy, NWFSC president, said. Classes begin in August.
The new degree includes specialization in supervision, public service management, healthcare management and human resources management. The college's existing BAS in Project Management offers tracks in acquisitions, project management, quality improvement and technology management.
NWFSC research showed strong employment demand for management and supervision graduates, according to Dr. Sasha Jarrell, the college's vice president for Academic Affairs.
In 2012, there were 7,178 jobs in 18 occupations linked directly to this bachelor's degree in the college's service area. By 2020, 7,816 jobs are projected for Okaloosa and Walton counties, according to the college.

"PA Cyber's $123 million budget is largely funded by payments from public school districts whose students are enrolled there".
Homeowners are taxed to help pay for public school districts. This cyber school has a 123 million dollar budget and is paid for with our taxes. Isn't cyber school an online thing? Why are we paying for kids to stay at home to get their education? I just don't understand why, if it is a parents choice to "send" their kids to cyber school, why are they not paying for their choice? Guess homeowners will always be responsible for everyone's education even if they don't have to step a foot outside their door to get that education. One of those things that make you say hmmmm!
My sentiments exactly.
Wow! You seem a bit angry over this. You also seem to know exactly the way it went down at Holy Spirit. Are you the person that sat down and talked with Taylor? Let me say that I agree with you that Taylor was evidently addicted to drugs. I think the suicide "threats" to her family were meant to scare them and/or hurt them. Maybe her final act was her way of saying she still had some control over her fate. I am sure her family, nor the hospital, or the prison expected this girl to die that night, but she did, by her own choice....and that is sad.
Amen! I drove 18 wheeler for about 8 months and I quit because I did not want to be responsible for killing anyone. The drivers of cars are insane around trucks. I have to agree that everyone should have to ride with a trucker to get the full view and feel of what they go through. People would gain a whole new respect for truckers.
You are right...we want the freeloaders to stop freeloading, but why must we, the middle class now pay for EVERYBODY's Healthcare, which is exactly what we are going to be forced to do...Thanks to Obamacare, we will all be living in cardboard boxes under the bridge because we will be taxed out of our homes to pay for all the nut jobs who voted for this insanity!
PA observer ... how does it feel to override your own insult of Mr. Barletta, who is one of the better Congressman? He was born and raised in Hazleton, PA.
I drove truck for 8 months and gave it up because of all the idiots in their little cars that think they can do what they want around an 18 wheeler. I was not going to be responsible for the death of anyone, but believe me, people in cars don't have a clue what truckers deal with on the highways. Someone said earlier that everyone should have to travel with a trucker to see what goes on. I think it should be a mandatory part of the drivers test.
I agree 100% with your post. He bypassed Congress to do this, therefore, violating our Constitution, but he has done this so many times during his attempt to take over America that it proves he is not an American, if not by birth, then by his hatred of our Constitution. For all of you that voted this snake into office and for those of you who are thinking of voting for him in November, I truly hope an illegal gets your job, then maybe you will wake up.
Time for a revolt. This administration, both Republicans and Democrats could care less about the American Citizens or Legal Immigrants of this country. And they care even less about our Constitution.
People, get over it. The money train has crashed. Did you think this ride was going to last forever?
I thought the same about Rhoads & Sinon. It isn't bad enough that she stole all these people's money, but now she is using the stolen funds to pay for high end lawyers to get her out of it.
Kudo's to Penn Live for bringing this family back together. I hope everything works out for them.
You said "Read the article. It states the woman in the house was uncooperative and refused to come out".
Of course the police are going to say that. It validates their reason for why they used such excessive force. Others say she was out of the house with her son for hours before they went all out crazy on her house!
You know, most of the time I side with law enforcement, but this seems like very excessive damage for a house that no one was in.
Thanking Ryan for his service. RIP ...My condolences to his family and friends...
Don't begin to think that some of us may not be a victim (former) ourselves, or know of someone close to us that is/was. This story just is not a typical victim of abuse story. There are more victims out here than you know and the first thing accomplished is to cut all ties with the abuser. Who sticks around waiting for a pension to kick in, or allow him to be in their bank account, or doesn't try to make the best of a horrible situation. All victims suffer mental and physical abuse; the only difference is the degree of that abuse. Mine was very severe, black eyes, several broken bones, hair pulled out in chunks, kept away from people that could help, called names and mentally degraded... but once I was able to break free, I didn't sit back waiting for his pension to kick in, or allow him near the kids; you do what you have to do to even if that means leaving with the clothes on your back. It is very hard starting over, but at least you will start over alive.
Thank you to all our Military..past, present, and future. Our country is as strong as it is, only because of your sacrifices.
Please don't say Pennsyltucky. All the good people in Kentucky are really insulted! :-)
Of all the victims of domestic abuse, they tell a story about a woman who won't divorce her abuser because she can collect part of his pension after 10 years!!!! That is absurd. Victims of domestic abuse will do whatever it takes to lose the loser.
With her degree as a mechanical engineer she should be able to get a better job than at Sheetz and support herself so he no longer has access to her bank accounts and such. I believe she is a victim, but something isn't right about this whole situation. Why would anyone keep these strings attached with someone who did these things to hurt her?
Congrats to you both. May you ride into the sunset together for many years to come.
Why are we racists because we don't want to get robbed, beaten, or killed. It is a shame we can't come into our Capitol without locking our car doors. This Capitol belongs to all the citizens and Legal Immigrants in the state of Pennsylvania, not just your thugs, but they are the ones that have the control of the city. So you racist thugs can have your city for now, because the majority of us really like living.
In this country there is only one language. You want to speak a language other than English then move to one of those foreign language countries!

Our great country has had 43 presidents. Many very good. A few pretty bad. On Presidents Day next Monday, it's appropriate to commemorate them all.I remember every president since Herbert Hoover, when I was a grade school kid. He was one of the worst. I've personally met every president since Dwight Eisenhower. He was one of the best.A year ago I criticized Hillary Clinton for saying "this (Bush) administration will go down in history as one of the worst.""She's wrong," I wrote. Then I rated these five presidents, in this order, as the worst: Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan, Ulysses Grant, Hoover and Richard Nixon. "It's very unlikely Bush can crack that list," I added.I was wrong. This is my mea culpa. Not only has Bush cracked that list, but he is planted firmly at the top.
Thomas Miller, head of the Office of Alien Property, was convicted of accepting bribes. Jess Smith, personal aide to the Attorney General, destroyed papers and then committed suicide. Charles Forbes, director of the Veterans Bureau, skimmed profits, earned large amounts of kickbacks, and directed underground alcohol and drug distribution. He was convicted of fraud and bribery and drew a two-year sentence. Charles Cramer, an aide to Charles Forbes, also committed suicide

5 Reasons Why Apple's iPad Is a Great Gift for GrandmaPosted February 21 2011
When the iPad was first released, the majority of reviews had two things in common. One, they were for the most part positive. Pretty much everybody agrees the iPad is a great device, and tons of fun to use. Second, nearly all those reviews pointed out the big elephant in the room; the iPad doesn't really do anything better than an already available product.
Think about it. You've got laptops with full keyboards, making them way better than the iPad at typing up long documents. And you've got desktops with big wide-screen monitors to watch movies and play games with. Even smart phones, with their increasingly speedy evolution in power, can do almost everything an iPad can. And they fit in your pocket. So, just who is this thing made for?
Well, grandma. Seriously.
Not just your grandmother, of course. The iPad is a really cool device, so if you want one, go get one! And it's only going to get better as more and more developers head to the platform and start pumping out apps optimized for it. But, for senior citizens, the iPad has already arrived, so to speak. It doesn't need that proverbial "killer app", because for many seniors, the iPad itself is the killer app. It makes so many things easier and puts the functions of multiple devices into one easy to use tablet. Don't believe it? Well read on for the top 5 reasons the iPad is a great gift idea for the seniors in your life.
1. It's a safe platform.
One of the big complaints many techies have with the iPad's operating system is actually a big plus for grandma. The iPad runs IOS, the same platform powering the iPhone 4 and current generation iPod touch. It's completely locked down. All apps are screened by Apple before they go to the app store. Apple's "walled garden" approach to their mobile software has been angering geeks for years. They say those walls keep out potentially innovative apps. And there's some truth in that. But those walls also keep out viruses, malware and scumware. They keep pollution from spoiling the pond.
The last thing someone who's not tech-savvy wants to deal with is a locked up device flooded with malicious software. That can't happen with the iPad. It runs the software it's allowed to run, and it runs it just fine. No nasty sharks are getting in and eating the flounders. You can sleep well knowing when you hand grandma her new iPad, she's not at risk of downloading a nasty program that can wreck the whole machine. You can't say the same about any PC, no matter how well you think it's protected.
2. It's light weight and easy to use in any position.
You sit down to use your desktop. And you know how much your backs hurt when you spend a long time on a chair. You can move your laptop around, but using it in bed or lying on the couch isn't really comfortable. And have you ever tried using it on your lap for any amount of time? You have to hunch your back over to use it like that! But it doesn't matter how your body is positioned when you're using an iPad. It's a solid, light-weight piece of metal and glass. Smaller than a magazine, weighing in at around a hardcover novel. And you can hold it however you want, or don't hold it if you have an iPad stand.
The screen's orientation automatically adjusts the display so it's always right side up. There's really no wrong way to hold it. And that makes it a truly portable device. Most seniors deal with aches and pains in one way or another. But the iPad is one device grandma doesn't have to get comfortable to use, because it's already comfortable being used by her. That means less strain on older bones.
3. Adjustable text size means less eye strain.
Most iPad apps incorporate adjustable text in one way or another. And unless you have poor eyesight yourself, you really have no idea how great this is. Being able to pinch to zoom, double tap to reformat, or click to enlarge what you're reading is a huge benefit to many grandmothers out there.
You put strain on your eyes day in and day out with things like reading small print and spending too much time in front of the computer and television. Over the years all that strain adds up, and your vision begins to fade. This is happening to younger and younger people because of the proliferation of computers, but it's still a bigger problem for seniors. Well, with the iPad it's not a problem. It doesn't matter if grandma left her glasses in the other room, or her vision is poor even with them. The iPad gives her an easy way to adjust the size of nearly everything she reads. Websites, email, text documents and so much more are always just the right size for tired eyes. And that leads right to the next point...
4. The iPad makes it easy to find, buy and read books.
Sure, the iPad is really popular with the young, hip crowd. Which is a little ironic, considering it really excels as an e-reader, and reading books is something many young people just don't seem that interested in these days. But many seniors still love to curl up with a good book. And the iPad makes it easy. First off, you get iTunes for books with Apple's new iBook e-reader / online book store. Thousands of titles you can read within seconds of downloading. And the bright 9.7 inch display makes reading easier than ever for all the grandmothers out there.
Now, there are a lot of great things about the Kindle's e-ink display, like how much it mimics the look and feel of paper. But the iPad is a better choice for someone with vision problems. The back-lit display makes it so much easier on the eyes then straining to get good light on the Kindle. And of course, grandma can change the font size for ultimate comfort.
And if iBooks doesn't happen to have the book your grandmother is looking for, she can just download the Kindle app. It put's Amazon.com's huge selection of books on the iPad's gorgeous display. Both the iBooks and Kindle apps are free.
5. The iPad makes watching her favorite TV shows and movies easy and convenient.
With the iPad, you're plugged into Apple's unique media ecosystem. And of course that includes iTunes, and all the great TV shows and movies that come along with it. Did your grandma miss her favorite show last night? No problem, she can just fire up her iPad and download it. Does she want a copy of the entire previous season? It's just a few clicks away.
The iPad let's you buy and watch content on your own time, so it doesn't matter if you forgot to tune in last night. It also makes renting movies a whole lot easier than going to the video store. With iTunes, your iPad is the video store. You can rent and buy all your favorite films and watch them right on the iPad. Grandma won't have to jimmy-rig dozens of wires between her TV and computer. All it takes is the iPad. You should also let her know about Netflix.com, and how she can stream thousands of movies straight to her iPad for one low monthly price.
The iPad is a great device for anyone to own, but for seniors getting an iPad can be absolutely life changing. It makes so many things they like doing easier than ever. Even if your grandmother is tech-phobic, the iPad is a joy to use. The IOS software is probably the most user-friendly operating system out there right now. Anyone can be up and running within minutes of picking up an iPad for the first time. And that's without even go into all the great casual games like Solitaire and Mahjong she can play. Plus the iPad can give a disabled senior a window to the world they might not otherwise have.
It gives you many different ways to stay in touch with loved ones with things like email and apps like Skype. And it costs much less than the average laptop. So if you're having trouble finding a gift for grandma, consider the iPad and some iPad accessories. It just might change her life.

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton has played down the impact of Ross Brawn's departure, insisting that it is neither a loss to the Silver Arrows or even Formula 1.
Just a year after 2008 World Champion Hamilton was enticed to switch from McLaren, 58-year-old Briton Brawn has stepped down as Brackley based Mercedes' team boss.
Hamilton, though, says that he is not worried.
"When I decided to go to Mercedes," he is quoted by Brazil's Totalrace, "I had much greater reasons than just him.
"To me, that he was there was a bonus, but after I arrived, I saw that the team had a lot of talented people," added Hamilton, whose new team bosses will be Paddy Lowe and Toto Wolff, overseen by chairman Niki Lauda.
" [Brawn] was a good boss, with a very good approach, which creates a great atmosphere in the team – but this is something that is expected of a leader," Hamilton continued.
Brawn has resolved to take a sabbatical from Formula 1, and says he will only decide if he will come back in 2015 over the summer.
But Hamilton, 28, said even a permanent exit from the sport for Brawn will not be a blow to Formula 1.
"The sport will continue when any of us go," he said. "So no, I don't see it as a loss for the sport." (GMM)
