A Lovely 10C Site!

@kdfrawg I bought a Mac Classic from a friend for $10. This was the special enhanced one with an 80 MB HD instead of the 40 MB standard. It also has 10 MB of RAM instead of the more typical 1 or 4 MB. The reason for the purchase was that work requirements were that we received & despatched finished jobs via fax. I already had the fax software & inkjet printer from other Macs, this one was set up solely as a fax. Then after about 6 months a new boss decided the fax method was too silly. and the same info could be handled as text over a phone line.

@kdfrawg It is.It works the same way as the Microsoft magnifier app on the Windows phone. I used that app to make up for the lack of a macro setting on the Lumia 1020. Focusing is easier this way.

@larand It also happens if you make an edit to a post. I stop using ampersands.

When I used the Lumia 1020 as my phone, an app called Magnifier let me zoom in a lot closer than the limited macro capability of an otherwise great camera would allow. It worked like a video stream, pause it and it takes a pic you could then work with. Great for reading small print on electronic/pill bottles.
Well, that's now an Accessibility option in iOS 10!

Got a text message 9 hours ago, someone had left a voicemail message on the home phone. I contacted home voicemail on the iPhone, it was my mother saying she needed a driver on Monday to take her to her shoulder surgeon and be there at 2:50 pm. She was relieved when I said I'd made that day free ever since the specialist's clerk had made the Monday appointment back in May.

@matigo No. My hands shake too much to be able to do such fine work.

Bought the 4G pocket WiFi modem as approved by the Men's Shed group committee last week. Comes with 4 GB of data which expires in two weeks, no chance of using all of that. I've attached it with cable ties to the foot/stand of the Shed's iMac, so it'll be harder to lose & be in close proximity to a USB port for charging. Tomorrow I hope to change the connection to double-sided mounting tape, if I can find any.
I estimate the best data recharge for our usage to be 4GB for $40 with a 60 day expiry. It's a prepaid service, so if we run out, we just renew on the spot.
Doesn't tie us into any contracts.

Feeling for an ADN follower in the west of the state: he's been evacuating relatives from potentiality flood-affected areas. A temporary levee bank may or may not give way. Says he's worn out & chilled to the core. He's dealing with it in a jacuzzi with some friends.

@matigo The iPad update was totally straightforward though.

Here's something: 10C works fine on PPC Macs via the newly-updated TenFourFox version 45.4. Prior attempts on such Macs failed due to browser problems.
