Hi David, That's interesting,
I don't mind face id, but it has it's moments, As for the windows convertible, I still prefer the mac book due to needing both mac os and widnows, running windows in boot camp allows a quick flick between them both. I'm hoping the earpods 2 are released soon and I'm definitely waiting to see what's in the watch 4. I'm also hoping the wireless charging pad is released soon to as that was rumoured out 6 months ago but still not out yet. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of David Chittenden Sent: Saturday, 1 September 2018 2:16 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Mac OS Start up Chimes I am waiting to see what Apple shows in two weeks. I have already switched to a touchscreen windows convertible. I actually do like face ID. But, I also want the fingerprint sensor. I love the Apple Watch and the AirPods. That said, I am much more closely watching Android devices. I have found a few Braille Screen input type apps on the Google Play store which I will soon be testing on my old Nexus 9.
