Then, that puts cream on the pie, good to know about the book by Anna on the subject.

It was amazingly well written! Even with the exchange rate I didn't hesitate to hit that buy button. I'd consider myself quite an advanced user of tech, but even I learn some very handy tips and tricks from Anna's wonderful book. Advanced or basic user, anyone wanting to get to grips with the Wach from a blindness perspective should jump at purchasing the above title. Thanks again for writing such a fantastic book Anna, I would rate this book 5 stars and then some. Are you planning to update Getting Started with the iPhone and iOS 11 once iOS 12 is released? Keep up the good work!
