When I transferred the SIM card from the old iPad to the new one, I couldn't get the SIM tray out of the old one with the Apple SIM removal tool. It just wouldn't engage the mechanism. So I used the Lumia 1520 SIM tool. That worked.

If the laptop shell is thick enough a Mac Mini will fit?

Four days, 12 hours and 35 minutes after being ordered online my new iPad has been delivered. In Australia, from China.

New iPad has arrived. Restoring from iTunes backup of older iPad Mini.

A new railway depot with maintenance facilities for 65 new high capacity trains and a "stabling yard" for 30 of the trains will commence construction 8 km east of here, starting in a few weeks.

Bother. 48 apps on the iPad, 31 on the iPhone & 40 on the iPod Touch will NOT work with future iOS versions.

Things is proceeding fairly quickly. The iPad I was expecting to arrive on Friday is out for delivery today.

Found this on the jokes page of our Mac User Group BBS:

We had a power cut at our house this morning and my PC, laptop, TV, DVD, iPad & my new surround sound music system were all shut down.

Then I discovered that my mobile phone battery was dead and to top it
off it  was raining outside, so I couldn't play golf.

I went into the kitchen to make coffee and then I remembered that this
also needs power, so I sat and talked with my wife for a couple of
hours.

She seems like a nice person.
