   Heh, thanks for the correction. Yes, go figure. Next year's midterm 
elections will be interesting, we will see how many of the right lose 
their seats.

Yeah ET,
This is off topic but I see you need some clarification!
Your correct it was rigged but not enough to pull it off by the adversary!
83% of the Christians in the Us proved that we are still a formidable voting 
block!
over 3 million illegal aliens seemed to be able to vote in several states!
Cant wait till the Vice President finishes his vote fraud investigation.

Hi all.

Off-topic message I'm afraid, but I met a guy from New Zealand here today, in 
Kilcreggan, Scotland.

He is over here with his family from the North Island and is spending time 
going around our country.

I told him that I knew several visually impaired people from his buitiful 
country, on this list and I'd pass on a message.

So here it is.

His name was dificult to gather as we were in a busy pup, but he said something 
like:

Ky1.dave


And asked me to pass on his regards to anyone who knew him.


Nice guy and a pleasure to meet.

Small world.

Very best wishes.

Andy.
>From Scotland with Love.
Not sure if this will mean anything to you guys, but I introduced him to a pint 
of Guiness and he bought one for me before I left.

Re: Do Airpods Have a Delay?

2017-09-10 Thread Scott Granados

There’s a slight delay but nothing like traditional headsets.  Vastly improved. 
 It’s the best on the iPhone 7 as it’s optimized all the way through but even 
to a recent Mac it’s wonderful and totally usable with wireless audio.

Re: What's the best method for changing the connected device with the air pods?

2017-09-10 Thread Scott Granados

So this manual transfer thing is so weak.  I was writing a review for the 
AirPods originally and going to give them a 5 star rating based on my first 24 
hours use.  But once I got to work trying to use them with all this manually 
connecting and such I’m deducting 2.5 stars until they install multipoint 
support and join the 21st century with everyone else.  Literally every other 
bluetooth headset does this better than Apple.  That’s such a poor performance. 
As someone said though I forget it if it was you or not it’s the first run at 
the product.  Multipoint or something better may be in the works so I will hold 
out for a while .  It’s to bad to because they are so great in absolutely every 
other way.

Re: Upgrading my Mini

2017-09-10 Thread Scott Granados

Larry, don’t upgrade through apple, go to local shop or do it yourself.  Check 
out www.crucial.com , put in the model Mac you have 
and it will tell you what parts to buy.  Prices are a fraction of what Apple 
charges so you could buy more drive for less money.

Re: Anybody left in Florida?

2017-09-10 Thread Scott Granados

I lived in West Palm for a long time, talking to my friend this evening who 
still does on the 18th floor of a condo complex.  Sounds like a place I would 
not want to be.  We’re pulling for you all up here.  Looks like it’s headed a 
bit west so may be little bit less damaging than originally thought but that 
sure seems like a whopper of a storm.  Keep the powder dry down there.
