I've been around about the same amount of time, I knew, it has been around. But as we also know, if not of immediate interest, it is easily deleted, unread. Or forgotten.
Either way, it was a philosophical point, all be it a bit OT by now. So we can accept or reject, but better let it lie, now. Ps: I didn't rush into iOs7, and now they're talking about forcing it? Girhrhrhrhrh! Rh. That's more a Microsoft thing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Duck" <l...@csdconsulting.biz> To: "iPhone List" <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2013 3:59 PM Subject: Regina's Sermon Hi Regina, I am the one who started the thread that prompted your "sermon" and so I would like to respond to it. You said that unless someone is a new IOS user that they would know that one cannot downgrade. Why is that? I have been a IOS user for 2 years and 2 months. I did not know that downgrading is impossible until now because it has not come up until now. I have gone through three major IOS upgrades and several minor ones. I have never before encountered problems that were sufficient to make me want to go to the trouble of downgrading. This being the case, how would I know that it is impossible? I assure you that I am not one to think that technology must be perfect. I started using computers in the 1980s, when they were much more limited than they are now. Like many of us, I carried around floppy disks and tapes and records and all of the equipment necessary to use them. I am very thankful that the functions of all of those devices can now be completely replaced by my laptop and iPhone, not to mention the fact that the devices that I have now have capabilities that would have seemed like science fiction back then. I am truly amazed and thankful at all of the technological resources that I have at my disposal. I am not a cancer survivor. However, I have lived through some pretty bad personal tragedies, which I will not describe here. Suffice it to say that I realize that I am very blessed that the worst problem that I have at the moment is dealing with some IOS7 bugs. Now, having said all of that, is there anything wrong with me wanting to downgrade to IOS6, if I can find a relatively easy way to do so? I don't think that there is. If you don't want to, that's fine. However, I think that a sermon, which came across to me as being a bit holier than thou, is going a bit overboard. By the way, I am communicating with Apple about the problems. I too am sure that they will fix it, eventually. I don't think it's a huge deal anyway. In fact, I said that in a post yesterday. However, If I and maybe some others would like to downgrade for a few months, until they do fix it, that isn't a crime or a character issue.
