I learned an interesting lesson today. I learned that if I use my Mac Mini to purchase something online using the Apple Pay card, the card defaults to cash. In other words, it would draw the money from the balance of the accumulated cash I received from prior purchases made with the card. How Apple Pay Works…
I can’t believe that I’m actually thinking about buying a PlayStation 5 console. I’m sure you’re asking, “Why is this grandma thinking of buying a PlayStation 5? She’s not a gamer”. I’ll tell you why. It’s because I am intrigued by some of the PlayStation games. And my partner in crime, my grandson, has repeatedly…
I almost bought the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I went on the Apple.com website, configured the phone I wanted, and put it in my Apple shopping bag. In addition to the phone, I added the AppleCare warranty. Since the iPhone 15 was just released, none of the Apple stores in my region had the phone…

It’s been over a year since I purchased the Logitech Combo Touch iPad case. I was thrilled about it when I first got it, but that enthusiasm soon waned. Over time, I found several issues with the Combo Touch case that made it increasingly difficult to continue using it. That truly bothered me because I…
Because I’m “frugal”, I didn’t initially purchase the Paperlike screen protector for my iPad. Sometimes my frugality doesn’t make sense.
