Thing7 Content Saving & Sharing


What a great way to save all those personalized interest pics !! Works much better on my iPad ! Again, not sure how useful this is in my day to day work (it isn't) but I had fun searching for great pictures of food, children and reading and Minnesota wild flowers (which I intend to compare to the ones I find at the Lake).

Yay! On to the Next 5 .....

Thing6Creating & Editing docs

As much as I use excel and word on a daily basis, it is very awkward to use them on an  iPhone. I wonder if it also downloaded to my iPad ? That would work so much better!

I am all about keeping my life as organized as chance will allow so right away I was all over Thing5. Very practical things here!!

Thing4

 Well, this was a bit of a challenge but I did it!

UPDATE: Now that I've been using Flipboard, I realize it's not the best way to keep up with news.  For one thing, it doesn't automatically update which I discovered over one weekend.  I asked a colleague how it updates, and she told me to swipe it from left to right and sure enough, it did update. I downloaded the  Toronto Globe & Mail and it has been fun to be in touch with Canadian news!

THING3

Well, I struggled with THING3 .... what to choose?   I currently have Safari on my iphone but I am not always happy with it so I opted to try Chrome.  However, reading all the reviews about Chrome crashes wasn't very encouraging .....  I'll give it a go and see what happens!

Thing2

Where to start?  So many great tips! All those hidden features! Who knew Siri could be so user friendly?  While I won't change the gender, my husband might want to consider it! I've used the compass before, but had no idea there was a "level" too!  Bold Text!  The best for those of us who need our glasses to see anything small.  Very useful information!
