Camphappy--oh yes, Pinterest. Love it too! I need to explore the eatyourbooks site. We live in an amazing age! A2gemini--I'm sure there are lots of different under cabinet mounts. That link just happened to be something I had been reading about that sounded interesting. I would sure like to know what you end up with. A Bob Appetite app??? Oh my, there are more apps than time available to check the out! ;). Oh dear, a silly typo--I meant Bon Appetite. I haven't figured out if it is possible to back up on this iPad keyboard w/out erasing to make corrections. 1jcrochet--nutritional info is very helpful! I would like that too.

The Seagate was very easy to use. By set up, I basically mean I had to plug it into my router and create a user name and password, create an account for my mother-in-law so she could watch movies from her house that I store on my device, and create non-public folders on the Seagate to store my movies and music in. If you want to be able to access your movies and music on it from your phone or something, you'll also have to download the Seagate app onto your phone or iPad. It is called a network attached storage (NAS) but it's a NAS for non-techy people who don't want to configure network permissions and stuff like that. It is really nice to have it and I especially enjoy that my Apple TV recognizes it automatically because it's got some kind of special thing that communicates with Smart TVs so you can effortlessly access the movies and music on it. Here is a review and longer description of how it works for those who might be interested: https://www.pcmag.com/review/359110/seagate-personal-cloud-3tb 

Tropic. I heard it probably 4-6 months ago. I think it was an interview with the CEO of Houzz by Jim Cramer. She was a young, Asian woman. She was talking about how successful Houzz has been bringing in money through their website. She mentioned how there were things they would change and improve. Anything that didn’t drive income would be dropped or changed. My thoughts was Gardenweb. Not sure if she mentioned it specifically. My thinking is if they don’t integrate Gardenweb into Houzz, they will drop it. They are totally focused on home improvement and leading people to their contractors.

I had a 6 year old Mac Airbook that I loved. However, I spilt some tea and the right shift key stopped working. I loved that computer so much that I kept using it with only a left shift key for over a year. Then the touch pad became wonky and it was getting really slow. Long story short, in January I was just "looking" at Best Buy and went home with a brand new Mac Book Pro. They had zero financing and a long try at home period. Now I don't know why I suffered so long with a malfunctioning Mac Air. To answer your original question I had always been a PC user and for somethings I do prefer a PC. If you are doing any picture editing, or art designing go with the Mac Book. My friend has a 15 inch MacBook and uses it for Photoshop but finds it too heavy to take on photo travel. He may buy a smaller 13 inch just so he can carry it on trips without breaking his back.
