I just gave my Iphone 4s to my husband so I could get the 5! Stitching the night away is the free app for the fabric calculator. So far I haven't found a good app for floss inventory. Maybe some day someone will make one. Make sure you download the Amazon app if you use Amazon and there are LOTS of movies apps out there too! If you like to cook, which I know you do....download the allrecipes app. You can save your favorite recipes and then when you're at the store, just bring that recipe up and buy the ingredients you need. You can upload your photos directly to snapbucket or any other and share them so easily on your blog! You will not know how you ever lived without it!

I tried to find somewhere on the web where I could do that, and I decided that I may have to break down and subscribe to Hulu. I can watch anything on there. We don't have cable, so I'm left to the mercy of the internet.<br />You will love your new iPhone. My first iPhone fell into a sink of water about a month after I got it, and I had to go back to my old phone for about 4 months. It was pure torture! When I finally got another iphone, I decided I could not live without it! I love checking my e-mails anywhere I am. Enjoy it. I, like you don't love technology, and I know I don't use my phone to it's full advantage, but it's nice to have Siri look up things for me.<br />Good luck figuring things out! <br />Lorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099740341363729893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-33730402292474507562013-01-07T09:32:25.170-08:002013-01-07T09:32:25.170-08:00I too had an old cell phone and resisted any chang...I too had an old cell phone and resisted any change for years. I finally gave in and got an iPhone last year and I have to admit that I really like it. I will never be a rabid fan as lots of folks are but there are some really cool things that the phone can do. My absolute favorite app is The Night Sky - even my 76 yo father thought it was cool.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370771698452520645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-41093679926675356372013-01-07T09:14:18.766-08:002013-01-07T09:14:18.766-08:00Ah Edgar, I had the very same thing happen to me a...Ah Edgar, I had the very same thing happen to me a couple months ago. I went in to the phone store to see if they could fix my old phone and they laughed at me. I guess they would since it was 11 years old! Yep, seriously! So I was thrown into the iGeneration feet first kicking and screaming. Now that I've had mine a while, I don't mind it so much.<br /><br />You really need to get the two apps for floss inventory. They are called XStitch Specialty (WDW & GAST) and XStitcherCC. There's even one called Beadster for all your Mill Hill. I've enjoyed having these on my phone. They run about $1.99 each so they aren't too expensive either. No affiliation, just a satisfied user.

In August (yes August 2012) I got my VERY FIRST cel phone. Still getting used to it. It is the simplest of simpleton phones but I do still come home and go to check the now nonexistant answering machine. Best part.......ZERO robo-calls and telemarketers from Bombay!

I fight every upgrade in cell phones that is foisted upon me and probably use only 10% of the features on my current phone. I have never texted or taken a photo with my phone, I do not play games on it or check the weather or read e-mail on it either ... though I am told all this is possible. I only use my Droid tablet when I am on vacation so that I can keep up with the Internet. I treasure my old digital camera [10 years old and no doubt obsolete] and love my old fashioned PC, keyboard, mouse and all. No laptops in this household. I don't see the point in retraining myself every six months or so, keeping up with all the techno-wizardy. I just wait till what I am using finally can be used no longer and then retrain myself on the available replacement in the hopes that I can use it for another ten years or so.rionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141923797221351378noreply@blogger.com
