Hi Donna, First the airport utility is for accessing the airport express and airport extreme wifi devices from apple, very simple to use and allow you to access the AP / router without having to know your ip address
It's not one that makes you think your flying, that's Scotts mushies! We don't have a lot of takeout food options with delivery We have a lot of simple little Asian style places that do takeout or the standard KFC, pizza Hutt (brother to Jabba), hell pizza is my favourite,but nothing here in my town very exciting We've got a population of around 120 thousand at this time of year due to 20000 students at the local university, But nothing like a lake or pontoon boat to spend the drinking time on. That sounds so awesome. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Donna Goodin Sent: Tuesday, 3 May 2016 12:27 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: How Do You Use iOS? Oh, Simon, you don't know what you're missing with take-out. It's the best! You don't have to cook or clean up, and you usually have all kinds of interesting food options. Yes, the place where I live is very nice. We have a pontoon boat that we call our floating patio. During the summer we take it out on the lake for eating, drinking, and general merrymaking. Lots of fun. I haven't heard of many of the apps on your phone. I've been surprised by how many of you have the Airport utility on your phone. What do you use it for?
