Ironically, I’ve been having lots of glitches, non responsive keys and having to sign in over and over to disques to comment on AlterNet. The worst of it is not knowing why. Is it the internet, disques, my IPad, the news site or an update that screwed things up? No way to solve this easily, if ever. Frustrated again when all I wanted to do was read the news and comment.

You got banned on Facebutt? You've got lots of good company.

I don't buy Apple products because I can't see any reason to spend twice a much for the same features and capabilities. Besides, back in prehistoric times, Apple burned me very badly.

It's almost impossible to stop using Amazon by design, especially if you don't live in an urban area. Sometimes, it's the only way to get items not typically carried in local stores.
