sorry for the lack of relevancy I couldn’t find the right board to put this on

after a frustrating Australian fair trading process with Apple which destroyed my rapport with the brand I have just handed off my iPad Pro m5 13” for return after the screen didn’t even last 12 months

however I’m still not ready to use windows again with all there stuff going on (today’s Microsoft outage is a clear point as to why) so regretably I’m looking for a smaller and cheaper iPad model to replace it and my eyes have landed on the new mini with the Apple Pencil Pro support (for art I know It doesn’t make a difference in shapr)

I’m just wanting to hear some testimony’s of people that have had a chance to try shapr3d on the new iPad mini any recommendations would help too!!

Windows had an “outage”? 🤷‍♂️ In 35+ years I never used Microsoft for anything but a icon/ start button holder to run non-Microsoft programs. And never before service pack II.

With some governments going to Linux, Shapr might should consider that.

I have a box waiting for my attention that is going to Linux.

I was at the doctors office… they couldn’t get some financial status records. So yes I was kind of affected.

In jest I was saying I do not use any services other than the OS. I’ve stripped it clean of lots of stuff like AI, Xbox, etc.

35+ years dealing with those Bozos.

25+? years ago engineering on Apple devices was a difficult proposition ✋. I remember the day they put a maxed out spec G5 with the full Adobe Suite in my office to edit the company sales video. Crash Crash Crash. Ended up doing it in Windows.

I would have never known about Shapr if my Gal Pal didn’t have an iPad. I hounded them until they finally came up with a Windows version. 🤣

Anyone interested in starting a “Cloud-free” device company? Could be a hit!
