Success! iPad and Googledocs...

... have no defense against sheer, eldest-sister, compensating-for-shorter-than-average-height, bosses around-large-animals STUBBORNNESS! <g>
I have no idea why it didn't work at first -- I don't think I did anything different -- but I finally got Googledocs to work. It took reloading three times (with a different name each time, so as not to confuse the system) but now it's doing what it's supposed to: opening, and letting me page through the document when I test it on the iPad.
I'm still not happy with iPad -- who the fuck designs a computer-thing where you can't save anything in the system?!?!? It must be nice to live where you have reliable internet access 24/7, but, you know, there're a helluva lotta people who live where that's not true.
BUT! I now have a link on my DW page; Cindy will be able to bookmark that, save it to her homepage, and open her DVD list anytime she wants.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Even though most weren't valid for Cindy, it helped to not be working all alone. And knowing the adjustments I'd have to make so that iPad would work as *I* expect a computer to do, simply confirms that I can save my money and never buy one for myself. <g>
