"Kinda" is the operative word here. If you have no need of the integration the Apple system offers, then I agree with you, any Android phone will suffice for the average person and the added bonus is they are cheaper to buy than a comparable iPhone. However, if you need and make use of the system integration the Apple offers to its users, then the Apple world IS the place to be. Android, Windows, ChromeBook, Google just do not get the job done when it comes to how Apple can take data and instantly make that data available on any other Apple device you may own. The amount of time it saves me and other Apple users each day is valuable not to mention there is no need to re-enter data on multiple devices as you must when you own Android, Windows, ChromeBook, Google devices.

I agree Jonyrot, but BebuLamar's issue is not with the iPhone but with the way the iPhone requires the user to use the "internet" to transfer data files into the iPhone. Specifically, having to use iCloud as the transfer medium to make the data transfer. By his own admission, BebuLamar has used the iPhone from iPhone 4 to iPhone 12 so we must assume he is very familiar with the OS operation. But, for him, the fact he is not familiar with the Android OS prevents him from switching to an Android OS phone even though he is of the opinion the Android OS file transfer method is superior. Superior, I suggest, means easier for him to use. Until such time as BebuLamar takes the plunge and buys an Android OS phone, he will continue to ask others if it is the correct thing to do.

Technology can be difficult to use at times, but unless you refuse to take the time to teach yourself how to use the new technology (in this case the Android OS) you will never get past the mental stumbling block you have built for yourself. Pickup a cheap Android phone, there are lots of them out there on your much-loved internet and learn how to use it. Youtube has many instructive videos on the various functions built into the Android OS. Try it you may like it. God hates a quitter.

Obviously, you hate the iPhone, so stop the bitching and buy an Android phone and transfer your files to your heart's content! Jeez Louise, it is an easy problem to solve, get the Android phone!

I'm guessing, Joer you meant iPhone 14. I have an old iPhone 4 and the camera is crap by today's standards!

Was the '58 the first of the "X" frame GM cars? The "X" frame design was a radical design change from the traditional ladder frame design that subsequently was proved not to be safe in a side impact collision.

It's a crap shoot Jerry!

Add the complication if the person who dies has no will, then the complications really pile up! Or, the deceased was not living in the same country when the deceased died as the country where the deceased had his/her will and related documents legally prepared and filed.

Yup! Second largest country in area in the world! Second only to Russia!

According to the Canadian Forest Service, there are approximately 135 to 140 forest fires burning in Canada and approximately 100 to 107 burning in the USA! We even have one forest fire burning near the Arctic Circle in the Yukon Territories of northwestern Canada.

Understood. Sorry for what you and your fellow citizens are experiencing. Be safe! Best regards, Garth

As a Canadian, I can tell you with certainty that forest fires in Canada are NOT rare. Right now, here in British Columbia, we are experiencing the worst forest fire on record. Any area in Canada that has forests is subject to wildfires each year. Fire season in Canada starts on May 1st each year and as we are experiencing abnormally high temperatures and low rainfall in the forest regions, both the quantity and severity of forest fires currently burning exceed what is usually experienced for all of the annual fire season which ends on October 31st each year. The Canadian weather service forecasts a hot dry summer for almost all of the forested regions in Canada this year.

But have you been to Kenya? If not, then why not?

Take your Miata to Naples, Italy and drive to Bari, Italy via highway E842/E55 a distance of approximately 160 miles. Once you are about twenty miles east of Naples put your foot to the floor and hold on for the best wild ride for the next 135 miles, kill the fun approximately twenty five miles before reaching Bari on the east coast of Italy. This stretch of road is a mountain highway with lots of twisties to test your driving skill and the automobile's capability. I have done this road twice, once from west to east and once from east to west. One piece of advice should you decide to test your mettle, if starting in the west, drive the road in the afternoon as that will keep the sun at your back. Obviously, if you choose to drive east to west, then start in the morning shortly after sunup and that will keep the sun at your back during the trip. Enjoy!

You are correct, it is not a GOOD reason to raise taxes, BUT, it is about the only method polititians have of getting the population's attention to an ongoing problem. Global temperaures are rising and that is a fact you can deny or ignore, but it is still a fact and that fact is having a impact on our planet. When the scientists talk about the effects of rising global temperatures, they are NOT talking about the global effect it has on you and me. Why, because our life cycle is too short in terms of a global or planet life cycle. Scientists are talking about the global warming effects that take place over centuries. Certainly, Florida or New York on the east coast or Seattle, WA or Vancouver, British Columbia are not going to disappear in the next year or two, or ten or twenty years time due to global warming. However, return to this planet in two to three hundred years and the topography of our coast lines will be consideraly different. So, do not worry about polititians of today bying ocean front properties on the east coast or west coast, north coast or south coast of North America, as they will be Ok, and if not, they will get an insurance payout most likely!
