On-Line Bill Pay

I just set up my American Express card to be paid automatically out of my bank account.  Was quite a chore!  Stuff on a web page, then on a phone robot, then a human person, and then back to the web.

I liked it better when we just dealt with human beings.  But I guess those days are rapidly fading.  

I tend to be against change, I think.  Almost all of them.  The good old days were the better old days.  Except with personal computers, of course.

Another lost hero

I did not know before today that Henry Ford had contributed significant financial support to Adolph Hitler.  That is very sad.  I would like our genius inventors to be good in other ways, too.

16 Shortcuts to Take iPhone Use to Next Level - NYTimes.com

But dig a little deeper into the iPhone’s latest operating system, iOS 4.3 — available for the iPhone 3GS and the AT&T iPhone 4 — and there’s another layer to master. (Sorry, Android users, but that OS has so many versions and skins that a quick guide would be neither very quick nor much of a guide.) Beyond the realm of those basic iPhone controls is an advanced level of shortcuts and tweaks, some of which even hard-core users may not know exist.

I've used some kind of "computer" for a long time. But I know that there are a lot of things that I still don't know--about the iPhone, iPad, and System X

IPad friendly??

Okay, now I will try an entry from my iPad. Will that work well?

I do like my version 1 iPad a lot. Haven't decided about buying the new one, too.

Welcome back?

Boy, I sure haven't been here in a long time.  Guess I've ended up sort of doing my "blogging" on Facebook.  But still, I greatly miss the group I had on Vox.  Why oh why did they take it away??

Over from Vox

Here I am. I'm saddened by Vox's closing. I really liked it, and the people I met there.
