Spare phone 12-month plan due for recharge on Saturday, current deal of $249 for unlimited calls, SMS & MMS & 80 GB of data would be excessive, given that I only used about 35 GB for the previous 12 months.
Carrier offers a $99 12-month deal with the same lack of limits but with just 12 GB data. When that is consumed, extra data packs of 3 GB ($15); 20 GB ($50) or 50 GB ($100).
Going by the usage over the last year, I could get by with the $99 base plan plus a $50 (20 GB) topup & if needed a further $15 boost giving me a total of 35 GB.
Or I might over the year need 20 GB more: my costs for 55 GB would be $199.
I doubt I’ll need to pay the full $249 figure, I can’t use all that data.
@matigo Lithium batteries are starting to appear in electronics retailers as replacements for lead-acid in deep-cycle applications, not at unreasonable prices, either.
@matigo One aspect nof LibreOffice I never liked was it would only display the top ½ of a page in the word processing app.
Anyone want a simple Office suite that works beautifully with MS Office files? Then try FreeOffice (a basic but still quite effective stripped-down version of SoftMaker Office).
Not to be confused with the free 30-day trial of SoftMaker Office, this ap is totally free. Go to https://www.freeoffice.com/en/ to sign up for the app.
After you sign in, they email you an actication number which you apply to any one of the three apps: TextMaker, Presentations or PlanMaker. The download for the Mac version is 154 MB. Versions are available to suit Windaws, Mac & Linux.
I’m rather impressed with it.
@nitinkhanna It’s all very well to bhave the Health app on iPhones, Apple Watch & the iPod Touch, but that’s stupid to leave it off the iPad.
Plenty of people use Android phones & other fitness trackers/smart watches other than the Apple Watch. Chances are these folk use Windows for computing & have an iPad as tbheir sole Apple toy.
@joeo10 An aunt of mine had scheduled her 100th birthday in her suburban home back in 2009 but a week before the show, she decided to do some pruning of the shrubs at the front of the house. She fell & fractured her upper arm, so we had the party in the hospital.
She never went home, recognising it was time to move into aged care. She instructed her son & grand-daughter to “do your internet stuff & sell my house” then moved into an aged care facility near her son’s home in the. national capital, Canberra some 700 km away.
Her first impression was unfavourable: she said “I don’t like it here. It’s full of old people.”
She was the oldest there in years, by a fair margain.
She survived a further three-and-a-half years.
