| | [ATTACH=RIGHT]21685[/ATTACH]It doesn't take long to fill up a 16GB or 32GB iPad with stuff, but what do you do when that data storage capacity is reached? Apple has not opted for an upgradeable storage option with the iPad, for reasons which escape me to be honest, so if you find …  |

| | Members only get banned if they break the rules enough times to reach 10 infraction points, simple as. That's what happened with the Original Poster: he received a number of warnings and infractions during his stay with DaniWeb, so when he sent an abusive/offensive PM to a moderator I gave …  |
