One result of the Apple launch event was the revelation of the long anticipated Apple TV remake — or, as Apple calls it, the “future of television.” I’ve never paid much attention to Apple TV before, but I got into a discussion recently and learned a lot more about the … Continue reading →
Continuing my thoughts on Apple’s big launch event earlier this month, I’ll comment on the new iPhone. If you bought one last year, unless you’re just a tech hound, I don’t see anything compelling in the new iPhone. If you have an iPhone 4 or 5, this is certainly worth … Continue reading →
Apple had their big semi-annual product announcement yesterday. They discussed the Apple Watch, the iPad Pro, the iPhone 6S and 6S+, and AppleTV. Much of it was a yawner for me, but I updated my phone and tablet last year, so, while I saw some new features of interest, nothing … Continue reading →

I received permission from a local motel to use their pool (for a small fee) in the mornings for self-directed physical therapy. I wanted to work for an hour, but how was I to track the time? I don’t wear a watch any more. I have an album or two … Continue reading →
I picked up a Kindle Fire 7″ HD with WiFi a few months ago. I like it better than the Kindle Paperwhite (which I passed along to a friend). They claim it’s more resistant to damages from drops than the iPad Mini. As an IOS user, the Android operating system … Continue reading →
I was intrigued by the Retina iMac when it was announced last fall. I liked what I saw on the Apple Store showroom floor. I’d been planning to replace my aging Mac Mini with a new Mini whenever Apple released one, and last fall, they did. Except, to equip the … Continue reading →
