This is what happens when the pricey hearing aids due blue tooth to each other! — and have an iPhone app — and answer the phone themselves and all that stuff.? Its called progress….. but at times its not working for me I tell him indoors. ?He has resisted a smart phone up to now…the covid thing is sort of helping though because he can’t even go have a cup of coffee without checking in with one…. so my thumb is in demand. ? :-)?

Re: Hi everyone -- still alive?
Chris,
I can well imagine that the noise of four Vulcans being scrambled (or even one, come to that!) was pretty mindblowing! ?Here, being not far from Exeter Airport, we just get a few “lighties” flying over and the very occasional holiday airliner, plus various helicopters. Sometimes, a police helicopter can be seen in an obvious search pattern but that doesn’t happen much. Best Susan

Hello there, Jude! ?Hubby Harvey was toying with the idea of a new iPad and we even went so far as to order one from John Lewis, with standard delivery within five days. ?Five days later, still no sign, (and boy do I hate that DPD app!) so we cancelled the order.

You are all extremely quiet. Are you all beavering away from home offices? We're retired people and we know how boring that can be - so can't imagine how it must be for people who are used to the cameraderie of the office water fountain.
I sat in front of my computer for what was supposed to be an instructive online chat about Zoom two days ago - only to discover some faceless bloke was just showing slides and they had turned off mike and vision for 150 people who attended the online event.?
Yes we know you ?need decent internet connection but if they'd said was slides only I wouldn't have bothered frankly. So there was an hour of my time I'll never get back :-)
Yesterday I edited a photo in Afffinity photo and when I did save to desktop it saved it as a .afphoto file !@#$^&!! Whats that when its at home I said to myself. Discovered one has to go to the "Export" function to get a .tiff.jpeg, etc.
So I can understand why someone might say ?of it "its not Photoshop" when even that is not very intuitive. I obviously need to spend more time learning the program ?:-)?
The iPad is serving a purpose to give mdy brain something to do while we are all still minding our Ps and Qs in Covid restrictions down here... but really .... it is just an expensive toy :-) ?I tried laying out something in Pages on the iPad Pro and found it so frustrating I got out of bed and wandered round to my Mac and airdropped it and got on with it.

Re: Hi everyone -- still alive?
The M1 chipped version top end with the LED under the screen is really lovely screen to look at -- can't fault it in that regard. ? Out of curiosity I walked outside moments after I unpacked and set it up and took ?a photo out of curiosity and I could see every blade of grass.?
I honestly think my iPhone is more useful at this point ?- I'm still awaiting the iPad to suddenly amaze me :-)?
I know people who rave about iPads and absolutely love them -- I think they have to fit a niche frankly -- I'm still at the point where I just in frustration air drop something to the iMac Pro and walk the length of the house and carry on on a proper machine.?
Oh first world problem ?:-)?

I see they have a lot of stuff on their website. ?I honestly find it hard sometimes to do the youtube stuff. One almost needs to be on another computer with the youtube running alongside :-)
Came with the ProCreate stuff. ?But hey what have we all got to do while all the countries stand still and they won't let us out of Australia -- unless we say we're going and not coming back.
All the applications have of tools and methodology like layers etc - just a matter of being patient and working through it. I do have GIMP loaded as well. ?But thought I might like Affinity Photo better - but I don't - not yet anyway.

Re: Hi everyone -- still alive?
Hi Jude, I was thinking the same a couple of days ago, but I didn’t know what to contribute. ?Now I do . . .
Affinity Photo has its own proprietary format, which is not unreasonable I reckon, but the Export function is great. ?I’ve just used Affinity Revolution on YouTube for a tutorial, but you might want to try Ally’s initial lessons:
She has a strange voice and accent, but I find her easy to listen to and to follow. ?She started doing the lessons when her husband had a medical snag and she has done really well. ?Affinity Photo for the iPad is similar, but it’s worth knowing what the desktop version interface means first.
I still haven’t been paid for my extra work so I still haven’t been able to replace my iPad Air. ?And now I have two dental implants to pay for – v pricey!

PS to my reply earlier --- try opening what you're after in MS Edge -- Safari is dragging its tail end something dreadful these days. I find I can't open Google Earth new web version, nor will it co operate with the interactive DNA map on Ancestry. Or if you don't like Edge try Firefox. ?Could be you'll get a different result with your purchase just changing the browser.? Good luck ? Jude?

Struth - I haven’t heard of Crossover for years and years. You should maybe have downloaded a trial version before spending money. ?I read some time ago it was very buggy.? Look into Parallels.

I'm working towards leveling up in ARES and want to be able to keep my Mac platform. I was hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having with opening any form/template in WINLINK.
I'm using a Mac Book Pro running OS version 11.5.1. I use Safari as my browser. In order to run Winlink Express on my Mac,?I've purchased an app called "Crossover." It's not an emulator; it basically takes Windows commands and turns them into Mac commands.
I'm able to successfully send messages via TELNET. Haven't tried HF yet. My problem is when I create a new message and then select the drop down menu, "Select Template," which opens up the "Template Manager," and then I double-click a template from the?"Standard Template" folder, nothing opens in my browser. Instead, the "Template Manager" box immediately closes and then I'm looking at the "Enter A New Message" page. I don't see any html forms open at all.
Any ideas??Thanks.

Hello Jack and welcome - I think I’ve approved your email but it’s been so long since I did anything like that!
This is completely beyond me but I hope someone else can offer some assistance. ?I mentioned it to hubby, who used to be a Café member but now has other things on his plate, and he expressed horror! ?:D

I'm using a Mac Book Pro running OS version 11.5.1. I use Safari as my browser. In order to run Winlink Express on my Mac,?I've purchased an app called "Crossover." It's not an emulator; it basically takes Windows commands and turns them into Mac commands.
I'm able to successfully send messages via TELNET. Haven't tried HF yet. My problem is when I create a new message and then select the drop down menu, "Select Template," which opens up the "Template Manager," and then I double-click a template from the?"Standard Template" folder, nothing opens in my browser. Instead, the "Template Manager" box immediately closes and then I'm looking at the "Enter A New Message" page. I don't see any html forms open at all.
Any ideas??Thanks.

Hello Jack and welcome - I think I’ve approved your email but it’s been so long since I did anything like that!
This is completely beyond me but I hope someone else can offer some assistance. ?I mentioned it to hubby, who used to be a Café member but now has other things on his plate, and he expressed horror! ?:D
Best of luck Susan

I'm working towards leveling up in ARES and want to be able to keep my Mac platform. I was hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having with opening any form/template in WINLINK.

Re: Hi up there...... you are awful quiet
It’s apparently not going to be a huge show but a couple of Spitfires and the Pitts Special are always worth a look, I feel. ?If you do go, and you see a couple (I’ve used this comparison before) who sort of resemble Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot, that’s us! :D Best Susan

Thanks, Susan.
We live in West Dorset now, so Totnes is not far from us (we’re north of Beaminster). ?I didn’t know that there was an air display at Sidmouth! ?I might see if I can sneak down . . .
Cheers
Chris
Congratulations on the anniversary, Chris! ?Give us a wave as you pass us on your way to Totnes! ?We used to go there every so often, when we lived in Hittisleigh I think it was. ?The last time we set out to go, from Clyst St Mary, we lost our enthusiasm after a while and went somewhere else instead.
We are taking a couple of nights in a hotel in Sidmouth, to cover the Air Show on the Friday (27th). ?Yes, we could go down on the bus as we always have done before but we wanted to spoil ourselves! Best Susan
