Apparently I’ve gone a bit mad for this stand. It’s called the Lamicall Tablet Holder I counted back and, since early 2019, I have ordered a dozen of these great little tablet holders.

I have been a member of AOPA since around 2004 when I did my flight training.

Over the years, the cost of membership has gone steadily up and this was fine with me, the … Continue reading eMail to AOPA regarding why I am no longer a member
Obviously a pandemic like that being caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is nothing to make light of. However, that being said, the very effective “social distancing” that has been implemented in order to slow down the disease is, for me, a gift.

So I ordered a new Fujutsu ScanSnap ix1500 printer from Amazon a couple of days ago. I received my delivery the following day and was pretty impressed… until I opened the rather war torn box and saw an obviously used device had been sent to me. So I posted a quick review on Amazon indicating … Continue reading Not sure why this doesn’t meet Amazon’s Review Guidelines

Referencing this recent article from the NY Times: By and large I have to agree with the conclusion that we don’t really know what to do with the information.
