My wife still has the iMac I bought her. She wanted one with the big,
25" display, so I gave it to her the same year she bought mine. It
now sits, mostly unused, because she uses a dinky, little iPhone for
just about everything she does. She also has an iPad and is constantly
watching movies on it from someplace. I don't even know how she gets
them. I still have an iPad as well but don't use it. The only time it's
used is when one of my granddaughters visits and wants to play "Peggle".


Can't you just say, "Siri, get a movie!"?

I guess not on an iPad. I assume she is using Netflicks or something
but I really don't know. I am not big into watching movies although
once in a while the Turner Classic Movies channel (TMC) will have a
great, old movie that I'll watch. Watched "The Dirty Dozen" again
yesterday.

I don't know where I picked up this trick, 'cause I sure don't have a smart phone.
When the kids were here for Christmas, I'd divided leftover turkey into two bags.
Then I asked the daughters if they had a coin. No. Could I use a phone to ask Siri a
question. Yes.

So I asked one daughter to call heads or tails. She called heads. I told Siri, "Siri,
flip a coin."

The next sound is Siri saying, "Tails."

Neither of them knew of that. Couldn't believe I got 'em on something.
