Smart move. It hasn‘t reopened yet.
KOP mall is open, I was there the other day. Apple store was open. A lot of the stores weren’t open. Of course, Burberry, LOV, YSL, and Coach were all open with long lines. Lol.

Hate malls. One thing I noticed was downstairs where Primark is, it was a lot more crowded and a greater % were not wearing masks. Did an abrupt u turn and headed for the exit.

The one that Tony went to it said Tuesdays and Thursdays. It was in Long Island City, Queens. He bought me a whole chicken once from there. Said it was only $5!

Finally made it to my local Costco this afternoon, and pulled the trigger on a new iPad. Bought the 7th generation 10.2 inch display with 128 gigs of memory. I'm posting from my old iPad while the new one finishes set-up. Thanks to all for your advice, opinions, and recommendations. Gotta love Costco. Might head back there tomorrow for a BarcaLounger power recliner I saw. Just need to find someone to help me load it in my truck, and to help unload and carry it up to my bedroom. Any volunteers?

Definitely order the leather case for it. They're real nice. I bought mine for about $20.

What did you think of Greyhound?
I was expecting more. Seems like many of the newer films overly rely on visually impressive special effects. But I guess that’s what the public demands. I question some of its historical accuracy. Doubt that many US destroyers were radar and sonar equipped in February 1942. And I don’t think the US Navy adopted the convoy system until much later in 1942. It seems like you can put Tom Hanks’ name on anything WW2 related, and lots of people accept it as fact. Did you notice that Hanks was credited as the screenwriter, and that Greyhound was produced by his production company Playtone?

Yes. The storyline was from a novel. I was not that impressed with the movie. I'll probably watch Hamilton next and hate it, lol.

I use an IPad Air. I’d go for the memory. I didn’t and I’m not a picture guy and the warnings started. I upgraded to an Air version with more memory. I’m a verizon person and got it on sale for about $200. Great price. Remember IPads come loaded with Apple bullshit that you can’t get rid of. Takes up a lot of memory and of course you can’t add memory to them. I like the device although I’m a Fuck Apple person lol.
Not true any more. Apple has allowed some unused installed apps to be deleted since iOS 12.
I have an iPad purchased in 2018. I lose track of what it is called -- 7th generation?

In Settings, there is a function to offload unused or seldom used apps. Not really a deletion, but if I want to delete, I can.

My iPad has 32 gbs. 21 gbs currently used. I am going to offload the unused ones. I generally prefer to keep storage at half, so I would like to bring the number to down to 16 gbs.

It's a deletion, otherwise, you wouldn't get the space back. But since they came with the iPad, it's in your Apple ID profile for apps purchased, so you can just reinstall them when you like.
