This is a no brainer! Hook it up and get all of those files backed up!
when I did my course on DOS (oops! that's how old I am!) I will never forget the trainer saying Backup! Backup! Backup!
You will never regret getting an external drive to copy all those precious memories and alllll that hard work you put into siting and working on the computer! What I do is make a directory using the date like this: "2021-06-15 BU" and straight copy of my data files as a good backup. in a couple of weeks time I do the same again, under a new date. This has enough space to do several rolling backups so an older version is always ready. So if the computer crashes for whatever reason those precious files are there. Phew! Just as well I backed up!

Magic Keyboard has a floating cantilever design, allowing you to attach iPad Air magnetically and to smoothly adjust it to the perfect viewing angle for you.
 
Just get it!

Well worth getting this keyboard to complete out the iPad. It really is part of the iPad, snapping right on and is immediately up & running - plug in your power cable to the keypad port, it charges the iPad, in low light the key board has backlights which light up the keys perfectly. Soft silky feel and scissors movement keys give you a totally confident sensation. The keypad does not have a battery, it is powered by the iPad.

The new Apple Pencil makes note-taking, writing, and drawing better than ever. It magnetically attaches to iPad Pro, charges wirelessly, and lets you change tools with a simple double tap. Apple Pencil (2nd generation) works with iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th generation); iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation); iPad Air (4th and 5th generation); and iPad mini (6th generation).

As light as a real pencil and yet will write on my iPad like a real pencil! It works like a mouse as it can be tapped for functions and yet the screen is so sensitive to its being applied like a real pencil. Choose if it is a pen, a marker, a pencil, broad tip, narrow, colors - the sky is the limit!

What a beautiful machine! I got an Apple Pencil as well and what magic! Drawing freehand, doing emails, browsing through the internet, working on a serious project, everything rolled into one! Love the keyboard - total layout of all keys easy on the touch, easy to see.
I will be getting the cover/keyboard for it when I sit at the desk after traveling around - it then becomes a serious business machine. MS Office as a once-off load is on offer & its great to have as a productivity set.
I could rave about particulars but it is super fast and beautiful to look at.

This is it. The K-Cup to replace the old one which eventually broke and had to be tossed out. It is a vast improvement. It is a totally different construction, being in 3 parts: the top, the coffee grounds container and a surrounding sleeve body part. Each being so easy to put together: I hated the little green projecting tab as I used to hit it when spooning in grounds - and then have to clean them all up when it went over! Now- no tab, just a suggestion of full line on the inside. I like my coffee strong, so I have overfilled - no problem. It will last a long time- no more brittle plastic, this is a much better plastic top which presses onto the coffee grounds container then glide locks into place inside the outer sleeve. I bought two replacement K-Cup

Great job guys!
Really friendly, respectful and fast with the setup. Recommended I did not need to use the ducting kit and said they would get a refund for me. Unfortunately a week later I still had not seen any credit on my account and had to go in & ask for it: it was done, no fuss and I had to go in anyway so no sweat.
Really worthwhile to get some guys to hoik the old one up the staircase to get it out the house! Thank you guys!

Quality product: touch the light switch and the plugs light up so its easy to find in the dark! Comes with USB power points so its great for recharging whatever.
One drawback: the wall mounts: it only has two points to screw mount to the wall, so if you have to get to a powerpoint to plug it in to the left of its wall position, you still have to mount it with its cable pointing to the right. And the cable is 6 ft long. So you will have to mount it closer to the wall powerpoint.

Really a super machine. The BB tech's were great and I really recommend them. We were up and running in not time
Please do read the instruction book to get the best out of the machine. It's easy to figure out but there are cases where you may want a special knowledge of which button to push (touch)!
There is one little niggles though: the fluff catcher is a bit stiff and awkward to open. It does require a bit of a strong hand to open up. (See pictures). On the positive side, all 'buttons' are touch sensitive and the on switch and proceed/pause 'buttons' have braille bumps to help the sight challenged folks know which are which.

I have had this same scanner for over 10 years and it has faithfully worked well for my needs. Now that I retired it decided to die - just when I was wanting to start to convert my photos to digital format! The only change that I can see is that the on/off switch is a new micro push button instead of the flip switch and I suspect it was the reason why the previous one died. So great! Trust this one will last longer. It comes with a host of programs, including scan to text (a dream come true), and special programs to restore those older faded photos which may have spots and stuff on them that you don't want. So poof! Gone! It also comes with slide holders so those can be scanned and converted to digital. Oh, and if you don't quite get the photo to line up well, it rotates it around for you so there is less scrambling to adjust each of those multiple photos you have spread around on the scanner bed. And it has an adjustable cover so if you have a book to scan the cover hinge stands proud and accommodates the book thickness. The front of the machine has some quick buttons which are shortcuts to use when doing repetitive tasks. The quality is totally great, could not ask for more in this must have machine. Start up time is minimal- ready to run in seconds. Thank you Epson! great product.

Ensure smooth gliding and less friction with this Insignia mouse pad. The marble decoration keeps it looking pretty, but it prevents your optical or laser mouse from getting clogged up with dust or dirt to ensure smooth operation. A low-friction surface on this Insignia mouse pad reduces tugging when you're using your mouse.

I can not increase or decrease the volume after connecting to blue tooth from the TV. Any help?

You should be able to boost the volume using the speaker volume controls, located on top of the speaker. If there is still a problem, contact BOSE on line. They are very helpful.

Normally you can only attach one per sound output device and the limit is on the broadcast device Bluetooth capability. If your output device is an amp with two line out ports you could get two Bluetooth broadcasters and hook up both and link them individually to the BOSE speakers.

Can you use this speaker with a Victrola 8 in 1 turntable?

As long as your Victrola has Bluetooth. If it does not then does it have a headphone jack or line out connection? If it does you can purchase a Bluetooth out broadcaster and hook it up via the line out or headphone jack and the BOSE Soundlink will pick it up.
