it's about multiple user accounts, of which there are none.

Read what you wrote. It's at the top of this email. "ipads do not have
multiple users". That's not the same as 'multiple user accounts'
although I expect that you will now argue that it is.

of course it's the same!! you don't seriously think that i meant you
can't hand an ipad to another person. by your definition *everything*
has multiple users.

Multiple email accounts means multiple users.

no it doesn't.

My wife will be disappointed to learn that she does not really have a
mail account on my iPad. She has several mailboxes under her name
which carry far more traffic than my humble few.

this has nothing to do with email and you know it. your repeated
attempts to twist and divert will not change that.

It doesn't mean that
everyone you hand it to has their own email account.

which confirms it doesn't mean multiple users.

The last time I looked, two people were multiple.

the ipad is not a multi-user device. whoever is using the ipad has full
access to everything.

macs, windows and linux computers are multi-user systems. one user
cannot access another user's stuff.

no amount of your twisting is going to change that.

for it to be a multi-user system it must have individual logins. it
does not. therefore it is a single user system. period.

you even agree with this definition and yet you're arguing. that's
****ed up.

multiple email accounts means multiple email accounts which is
completely separate from multiple users.

in fact, multiple users could share one email account.

You are trying to duck (sorry SD).

it's not me who is ducking,

you even *admit* you know what i meant.

Certainly multiple users could share one email account but the iPad
will also allow multiple users to each have their own seperate and
individual email accounts.

it could, and not only is that exceptionally rare, it does not make the
ipad a multi-user device.
