Hi Simon, No, I really haven’t thought about using Sonos. I can’t exactly say why, except that I am always been interested in this sort of three-dimensional sound that you supposedly got from the HomePod. I don’t think Sonos offers that. Mary Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 19, 2018, at 9:37 PM,

Hi Mary, Have you thought about trying the sonos products which now use alexa for voice recognition I find the sonos devices excellent for both useage and sound quality. Mind you we don’t have the home pods here in NZ so I can’t compare. From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of

If Siri was as good as the others then it would be worth it maybe. I love my little dot and now I want a google home mini. if apple soled a Mini with a fair price it might be worth looking at. On 11/19/18, Mary Otten wrote: > Thanks for the reply’s. I have read some reviews on the HomePod. And

HI Christine, OMG! Now I am hungry! :) It looks like the menu is actually two jpg images and the menu link just moves focus within the page, to those images. I’ll see if I can OCR them but for now, I cannot think of another way to try to read these. Cheers! Cara On Nov 19, 2018, at 10:33

Well, I use Microsoft Outlook interchangeably between MacOs and Windows. I like the fact that the Macintosh version has most common functions in a menu though it does not have as much functionality as the Windows version. For example I have not figured out a way to use the ignore conversation

Hi, A couple of things. Google makes it difficult to use their web apps due to the ever changing nature of their coding of the apps. Basic accessibility is always present, but the more interactive nature of these apps is not always quite so friendly. I would first make sure that you always

Homepod, was Not sure if this is off-topic it does concern Apple product

Hi Mary, I have a Homepod. I will probably get another. But my impressions of it are basically the same as all the reviews you'll find if you Google it: Homepod hardware is absolutely second to none. Sound is fantastic, the microphones can hear me speaking at normal volume from miles away.
