 @edc128e6 I have thought this so many times. Same with Wall Street “expectations.” When a company doesn’t meet them it’s somehow the company’s fault,  not the analysts. 🤷 
 I just want to say that joining Mastodon has been one of the most pleasant experiences I have eve... 
 @cfb180ce I couldn’t agree more, Brandon!

I was hesitant to give Mastodon a try, but am so glad I did. What a difference from the other “social” media. 
 I just published “iPad Display Zoom” where I discuss my experiences with using “more space” on an 11” iPad Pro.

 @edc128e6 I agree. Case in point: I got Final Cut Pro for iPad because I wanted to learn how to use it and see if it will be something I’d use. If I had to buy it for $99 (or more), no way I’d do that.

 @c28ce4e6 @379d8cad I had a really hard time resisting the beta this year. So many good things I want. But I decided to wait. 

Was the beta pretty stable for you?

 @c28ce4e6 @379d8cad This is an iOS 17 feature. Maybe Denny is on the beta? 

But hey, it’s coming Monday! 
 I just posted an overview of iOS and iPadOS 17 on my Tech Talk site.

 Demand for new iPhones was apparently high and caused some chaos when the store opened for orders... 
 @edc128e6 Your post reminded me to check my pharmacy again, only to find no openings for weeks (they didn’t even list the vaccines as of yesterday). I was able to find a slot at a different pharmacy. Thanks for highlighting this. 
 I just published a new post: “Traveling Light(er): iPhone Only”.

 I have another site called “Rob’s Tech Talk” that is meant to help the non-techies out there get more out of their Apple devices. I just posted for the first time in 2 years! I plan to get back at it regularly.

 @c28ce4e6 What a great read! It’s so interesting to see all the ways you’ve used your iPads. It’s amazing that a single device can provide so much flexibility. Thanks for sharing.
