Thank you for the info.

I did check out the font menu. It didn't look like much changed.

I guess we really don't own our Kindles. Amazon can just change the OS without asking. It could almost be an Apple product.

You don’t have to update either Mac or iOS. Just toggle it over to no automatic updates. Just like Windows.

I have been using iPadOS 13 beta for about two months now. I didn’t put iOS 13 beta on my iPhone, because that’s a critical usage point.


It is a significant update. I have not made up my mind about dark mode yet, but I’m going to keep giving it a try out for another week or so on the iPhone. The keyboard gesture mode works better than I thought it would. Mail and Reminders have both gotten nice improvements. I like the new Undo gesture mode.


The Voice Control mode is great, as long as you don’t have anyone else talking while you use it (or the TV on). it seems as if you can do just about every function by voice now, even tapping buttons.


I miss Force Touch. It will take me a long time to get used to long pressing instead. I’m a creature of habit.

The New York Public Library says as many as 80% of all books published between 1924 and 1964 are in the public domain, if this article is to be believed.

I liked it a lot. I have the ebook, but haven’t got around to it yet. Now it’s at the top of the list.

I believe it does matter that much. Personal information gathered by companies will be used for their benefit, not yours.  Their primary purpose is not providing a service to you, it's maximizing value for their shareholders regardless of consequences to customers.  And the information they have on you seems to be routinely accessed by hackers.

I am currently binge-watching Person of Interest on Netflix.  I enjoyed the first one or two seasons when originally aired, but when the other supercomputer came into the plot line I quit paying a lot of attention to it.  So I may only rewatch the first two or three seasons.  After that I’ll probably resume my rewatch of the Wycliffe detective series on Amazon prime.

I have not had that problem with my iPhone 6. Just curious, why are you using iOS 9 and not upgrading?

 You did the right thing. I believe Apple will normally send you an email or a text message about matters concerning your account.  I find it is generally good practice to go to a company‘s website and get phone numbers to call instead of using the one embedded in an email. It’s all too easy for the bad guys to spoof return addresses or indeed caller ID phone numbers.

 I have read all three of the books. They were much better than the TV series.

I use bluetooth headphones connected to my phone for music while taking walks. Can my iphone do this and connect to the Watch over bluetooth simultaneously??

Yes. I do this frequently.

 I have been known to skip battle scenes in books and movies, particularly in movies.  I watched the latest Jason Bourne movie a week or two ago, and fast-forwarded through all of the fight scenes and car chases. That cut the time in half. 

 I think this question would be better served if directed to an Apple/iPhone support forum. The people that come here are pretty non-technical. If you are near an Apple store, that would be the best thing to try.

 I was running a check in Manage Your Content to see how many Nero Wolfe books I have not yet gotten ebook copies of. I discovered there are 12 Wolfe books I have already bought that had updates.


Just FYI. There doesn’t seem to be a way to pull up a list of books that have been updated. Too bad. And they don’t tell you what is changed. I guess I will have to set aside some time to scroll through 11 years worth of book purchases.
