Mum’s GP is concerned about Mum’s health. She wants to send her off next week for a CT scan and then based on that either a colonoscopy or a endoscopy as she recently had an iron infusion & has blood evident in her faeces. Searching for abnormal growths. Possibility of bowel cancer. The history of Mum’s side of the family is they either die from old age, cancer or both, she’s 5 months short of 91.
@matigo Not greatly, it’s bigger & better than most digital picture frames and very easy to use.
Loaded 1265 photos (more to be added) onto a 1st gen iPad bought cheaply from a pawn shop. It’s been set up without any Apple ID as it’s only intended for use as a picture frame.
Easy operation. Switch on ffrom off or standby, same button used there. If the password prompt appears, tap Cancel. Next, ignore the slide to unlock and tap the icon immediately to the right of that.
Enjoy slideshow.
@sumudu If email is not to be trusted, then use the semaphore code. It’s alphabet is denoted by combinations of arm positions. Napoleon set up a massive network of semaphore telegraph towers, a message could be relayed from Paris to Lille (230 km) in 30 minutes, for example.

@variablepulserate Flap your arms from the top of a hill with semaphore, then.

Angry. Answered a Farcebørk Mucketplace ad for a 1st generation iPad. Advertiser was certain it was an iPad 1 & not an iPad Air.
Visited customer’s home (35 minute trip each way) to find it was a totally unsuitable iPad 2 on iOS 9.3.5. I need an iPad running anything predationg iOS 7, cos that’s when the picture frame feature was discontinued.
When set up, there was another operations mode from the lockscreen. Instead of swiping to unlock, one could tap an icon to start a slideshow of a selected range of photos.
A year ago all seven unit owners voted to sack the body corporate manager as he suddenly revealed he was a part owner of the insurance company providing coverage for all buildings. Plus he was charging more than we were happy with, hence the decision to go with self-management. One unit owner offered to be the unpaid volunteer manager and immediately reduced the annual charges with approval of the majority of owners.
Later two of the five owners living onsite expressed dissatisfaction with him and wanted to go back to a paid manager despite the proven savings in going it alone.
The volunteer has stepped down and appointed another allegedly cheaper & fairer manager than we previously experienced. I hope that satisfies those two cranky owners but no doubt they’ll find something else to complain about. One is a proven manipulative bitch, the other has something of a history for aggression. Fun times. NOT.
