Hi folks, This is a somewhat forlorn plea - as I think I know the unpalatable answer :o(( We are in Paris. I have been trying to use my iPhone. It has been hard as the so-called wi-fi internet at the apartment is an ibook with a 3G modem in it. I won't go into the details of that - I sort of got

Hi Ronni, That would have fixed it! As it happens, we decided we really had to get out and see some more of Paris and I ascertained that there was actually an Apple store underneath the Louvre - right next to an inverted pyramid letting light into the spacious area - talk about location,
