All is well that ends in pizza.

I wonder if iOS 9.1 today will help that?

That reminds me. For those with iOS 9.x who miss the iOS 8 keyboard:

Go to to Settings > General > Accessibility > Keyboard and turn off the toggle for Show Lowercase Keys.

Any thoughts on this for my Mom's new computer? [link] Pretty basic use - but i also know that windows is going to continuously add patches which will slow int down. How will this work in four years when OS patches & App software upgrades nearly double the resources used. Is this hard disk fast enough for the long term?

I'm going to also get a quote from a basic box shop.

For 50 bucks more, this seems like a better deal from Fry's. [link] - thoughts?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I definitely go the Core I3 over the older Intel tech, but I'd be worried about Lenovo's recent history of stuffing all sorts of spyware/adware on their machines.

Here's a similar ASUS core I3 for twenty bucks more. And here's an ACER core I5 for $20 less than the Lenovo.

I'd go with the i3 over the pentinum, the i5 is probably too much for what she needs but it's $20 less!

thanks $20 less plus I've learned the hard way, get a little bit more powerful computer than you think you need - in the long run you won't regret it.
