Some of the reviews for this don't make sense. This kzfaq.infoUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA works as well as any power strip I've used. Plug in what you need, be sensible about it & keep it movin' The construction is plastic but it's a sturdy piece. It has a single toggle switch & the swivel jacks are useful as well. Plugged in next to Tripp Lite Isobar takes some of these reviews with a pinch of sumthin' - does what it says & functions properly.Had for about a month.

I find so many of my friends still haven’t caught on to the usefulness of the calendar on their phone or iPad. Best wishes and thanks again.

I find rather difficult to use the pencil to use hand writing to enter text as my iPad gets spelling wrong at least 50% of the time. Ex: if I want to enter the word Meijer for shopping Apple enters Meyer or other variations which I have correct. I have given up trying to enter my name as I get all kind of misspellings both first and last name. My hand writing/printing is clear and very readable. So my pencil usually sits unused.

Thank you, Rich. As much as I was hoping not to... I bought a new base iPad as my friend, neighbor and BIC requested, set it up for myself for August travels and he tried it a week later, and found it so much faster than the old iPad Air (2013-2014) he'd been using that I bought the same setup for him later in the day. For me, these tips will be helpful as I picked up a discounted Logitech Crayon (with female Lightning charge port). Cool! Just when I thought he'd learned the swipe techniques with that old iPad Air, I find out that he's learning those from me as I learn and memorize them from your videos.
