Hi :) Thanks :) I had considered signing off as "Tom the pedant". I was hoping someone might give links to the photos of the avian carrier experiment.
Good luck and regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Jean Hollis Weber <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 30 May, 2011 20:43:24 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Away for two weeks Excessively pedantic thinking, Tom. ;-) On these trips, my "internet access device" is an iPhone or iPad, using the 3G telephone network, which is often not available where I go. Wifi is usually even less available. While technically an iPhone or iPad is a "computer", I don't carry my working files on either of them, nor do I have programs installed for working on those files. Lastly, my partner and I deliberately don't use the term "computer" for iPhones or iPads, because we've found that a lot of people in our age group don't want anything to do with computers (due to negative experiences in the past) but, given the right encouragement (by seeing how easy it is to do something that interests them), they will take readily to an iPhone or iPad. And they don't know, or need to know, that when using the telephone network, they are actually connecting to the internet for some purposes. --Jean On Mon, 2011-05-30 at 16:32 +0100, Tom Davies wrote: > Hi :) > Yes, good luck with the well-earned break :) > > The statement "mostly without internet access and definitely without > computer" > worries me a little.
