Ya, I'm like you Eddie in that I like Apple a lot. Obviously a lot of people do.

I shop at amazon often and had considered the Kindle. However, I am a netflix member and I tried the amazon trial movie thing, and did not like it. Seems Amazon charges $79 a year PLUS anything that is worthy of watching cost per series or cost per movie or cost per season. I found that to be so odd. Why would anyone want to pay $79 a year and then also pay for each thing you want to watch.

By the way, DISH has made some sort of deal with AMC and they are back on Dish.....a new season or new episodes or some such of 'The Walking Dead' is on Sunday.

I don't use a cell phone much. I am at home most the time but of course, it's handy to have a cell phone when I am on the road. These days, a cell phone is pretty much necessary for everyone. I use my landline mostly. I paid about $75 per month to verizon over the past 8 years. That was fine at the time but as stated, I'm home most of the time and don't really use a cell phone much at all. It was stupid for me to continue paying a monthly fee for cell phone service. This tracphone functions like a smart phone. No minutes are subtracted for internet usage. I rarely use it but it is there if I need to.

The Mini Ipad WiFi 32GB, is $429.
I paid over $500 because I added the optional case and sales tax in Tennessee is almost 10%.

Apple is expensive and like most things today, charge a lot more than they should for their products.

I think I will really like the mini ipad. Everyone has their own reasons as to why they like, want, or need something.
The big turn on for me was the size being a tad smaller and the price being a tad less. I can easily carry the mini iPad around outside with me at home. I have 8 acres of property and I am outside a lot in the nice months. I can sync with my other apple products. Most people that I visit, have wifi so that is handy also for me. I may not have even needed the 32GB because I really don't plan on storing a lot on it.

I'll post back here in a couple of weeks after I receive it and let you know how I like it.

I just purchased the mini iPad, Wi-Fi 32GB, and the smart cover. My total with tax (free ship) is $513.
The cover was $39 and I was hesitant to get it because I know I will eventually use something else for it.
Also, I am in a high sales tax state so tax for me was over $45.

In comparison to the IPad 4 with retina display, I'd probably been out a two to three hundred dollars more due to higher price but also due to more tax, etc.

I think I will like the mini ipad rather well. I like that it is large enough to comfortably see without being quite as large as the iPad so that it fits easier in normal size places.

I have actually been thinking of trying something new to fix that. I have an iPod Touch 5G with a great camera, but it only works on wifi. There is a new device called FreedomPop that lets you turn it into a VoIP/data phone for free.

Just imagine, no more data or voice plan payments. If you go over 500MB it is only $10 per Gig. If it was just available in my area!

I thought about doing that a year ago. I have the IPOD Touch 4. Instead, I bought a Samsung Tracfone Smart Phone. I like it because I get triple minutes whenever I purchase minutes, there is no monthly bills, it has wifi, and actually functions and works about the same way an apple does.

Here's the jest of it for me in regards to the mini iPad....I have laptops and notebooks and the big 27 inch mac....plus an ipod. I don't use a cell phone much so there was and is no point in my paying a monthly fee for a cell phone.....which I did for many years pay verizon every month until I got smart and canceled it. If I want a ten inch screen, I can use my netbook.

I know the mini ipad does not have the retina display but I don't really care. I plan to check it out more today as I think today is the day we can order the mini.

I am guessing that admins are now simply implementing the sponsor name of those that enrolled thru admin.
jgrago is an admin and admins has in reality, always been your sponsor.

Anyone going for the mini ipad besides me?

I don't have an ipad and have thought about one for several years. Now that they have come out with the
mini ipad, I'm going to get it. I do like the idea of the size because it will be handy to fit in my purse, yet I
think it's still a good enough size to utilize without being too small. Pre-order begins tomorrow Oct.26.

I don't know, look in the international forums.

That's amazingly cool!

Hmmm, this post I made last year. I guess my payouts have gone up a couple thousand dollars since then.

Happy Birthday!

Just kidding there valerie -- Anyways, I feel the same way; the time I had my tooth pulled, I thought the gauze in my mouth was a piece of gum; without knowing it, I kept chewing it on the way home

That's funny.....especially 'McGauze'.

McWould McYou McLike McGauze McWith McYour McFries and McFish and McCoffee?
McYes, McPlease.

McHa McHa McHa McHa

Refer others that upgrade.

I was hungry.

That side of my mouth was totally numb so I wasn't in any pain at that time, except for hunger pains.

No, I did not go to ER. They'd probably just give me a laxative and send me home.

I had a tooth pulled today and I was hungry afterwards. McDonalds was across the way from the pharmacy so while I was waiting on a prescription, I went over to mcdonalds for a fish sandwich, fries and coffee. I had changed the gauze to a few little squares wadded up on the lower left of my mouth and was eating fries on the right side of my mouth. Then I realized, I ate the gauze. I guess I thought the gauze was french fries and I ate it.

Needless to say, I don't feel very good.

Must be one of 'Zager and Evans' websites.

You don't need courage here. We're all ClixSense crazy!

This isn't the place to ask about other programs such as that.

I suppose that would be a good idea to remove spoon from cup.

Someone sent that to me and it was kind of cute with the images scattered thru-out the joke.
I know it's silly but kind of cute too.

You funny!
