Apple Watch Two Months Later
I have had my Apple Watch since May 13. As an early adopter, I know there may be an issue or two in its use. All in all, it does more things than I thought. Some of these include: Directions. When I set the map app on the iPhone to find a location, I get…

iPad Arrived
I am probably one of the few over 65 folks pre-ordering an iPad. I tracked that shipment all the way from China and it arrived right when the UPS said it would on April 12. Since I had to sign for it, I waited anxiously looking out the window all morning. The big brown truck…
