Questions re tactile covers

2016-02-21 Thread Donna Goodin
Hi all, When I was asked about these, it kind of took me by surprise. I got my first iPhone the first week that the first accessible model, the 3GS, came out. At that time of course there was no such thing as a tactile cover, so I learned to use my phone without one. I'd be curious to hear f

That's not the point. The point is that they put a lot of hard work into creating the book, and they deserve to be paid for it. Few of us would be very happy if we went to our job one day and at the end of the day we were told that we were providing a beneficial service, so we wouldn't get pai

Huh. Well, I guess I'm glad to know that the problem probably isn't on my end. Weird, though. I wonder what is causing this. It's rather frustrating, since my husband and I decided to give up cable last November, so would really like access to my purchased movies and TV shows. Cheers, Donna
