But as this particular company is somewhat local to this area I thought that this bit of news merited it’s own topic, especially as I notice more than a few mem- bers at the weekly meetings “playing” with their phones, prior to the meeting getting started (of course). So in case you were not already aware of this partic- ular upgrade in service for our local market, here you go. In addition to the above bit of news, there is now this revelation, which may not be of any real surprise to many of you: Pew: 64% of American adults have a smartphone, and 10% rely on it for their broadband connection Considering the lack of any real internet service (my opinion) in our local area once you get more than about 5 miles or so outside of GP, smart phones and/or hubs may now provide a third choice for internet service in the home. US Cellular news Al Guenther ~ Editor My Windows 10 experiences/observations Al Guenther ~ Editor So, in a strictly FYI posting for anybody interested, I have “sacrificed” one of my 3 laptops that was running Win 7 Ultimate and UPGRADED the OS to Win 10. As we approach the much ballyhooed release date later this summer, I will share some of my experiences with the product. Now, Windows 10 is also slated for release on Windows phones and tablets but not RT as yet. My laptop does not have touch screen functionality so no help there. Now, if any of the more intrepid of our members out there in Rascals land have also taken the plunge on any of the currently supported devices and would care to share your opinions with me for inclusion in future news letters please feel free to email me at mailto:[email protected]
