Dorothy, what is awful, is that the book I bought is Iphone 4, 4s & 5 for Dummies. ha ha I still have problems understanding it. I looked up Scanning last night because I wanted to know how to scan the squares you see everywhere now. The book only explained how to scan barcodes. But I guess it is the same thing, so later I will try that. It was something Really Important!! I was going to look up. OU's Harlem Stomp. HA HA. I try to learn something every day and then will probably have to update again. I did learn something really fast, couple of weeks ago I was visiting our son in CA. He was driving up I-5. He was looking in the rear view mirror and said Check this out!!!! A guy is going to pass us doing a wheelie on his motorcycle. Well that fast, I was able to video the guy doing a wheelie, he must have gone on for a mile or more. We could not believe it. He did have a helmet on. although it had a Mohawk decoration on top of it. I could not believe I hit the right button or buttons to do that, instantly. Thanks for the help, Dorothy. Anyone with tips on Iphones. I am open for all suggestions. Later, Nova . In a message dated 3/29/2013 11:20:51 A.M.

Nova, I don't mean to be vicious but I am glad that I am not the only one on this listthat is technically impaired. MY kids just shake their heads& give me that ODDlook whenever I ask for help(I just tell them that i'ts sure the pits to get old. AS for phones I cannot seem to get past just dialing & talking---anything otherthan that is Greek to me! Glad you had a good time on your trip.Take CareJerry Dean Jerry Dean > From: Srod46@aol.com > Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2013 12:40:46 -0400 > To: palmertree@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [PTREE] A Funny for you.. > > Dorothy, what is awful, is that the book I bought is Iphone 4, 4s & 5 for > Dummies. ha ha I still have problems understanding it.
