so, i got this ipad. [View all]

i wasnt rly in the market, but i switched from att to tmobile, and they practically made me take it.
but damn. i have had 3 mac laptops, 3 iphones, and this is the most counterintuitive device ever.

i tried making my way through the set up, and i hit a snag.
it is asking me for a passcode. but a- i hate passcodes. i hate locks and keys period. no way would i set a passcode.
and b- i never got that far in the process.

what the heck happened to plug and play?
just that welcome screen makes me what to pull my hair out. took me several run throughs before it came up in english and i figured out it was swipe down, not rt.
please tell me that if i ever get to the keyboard there is an escape key.
