"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in

Lots of farmers round here. Someone must be mowing hay.

Just about every time George mows my field it rains.

I can make it snow in the winter time too.

Just plan a job on a roof.

You may have heard me mention a few days ago that I bought a new iPad and that they were going to come out with something new this week. Well they did. And in many ways it blows the Air 2 out of the water.

These guys need to slow it up on the upgrade treadmill.
Pretty happy with what I got though.

Well I think most of it is driven by competition. On the upside, if it werent for the other guys we would be still using stuff from 30 years ago. (But we would probably be content with that.) so the Competition forces these guys to make better products. The down side is of course money from our pockets to theirs.

It isn't just computers either its just about everything from cars to paper clips. (Although there's not too much you can do to improve a paper clip)

ducpainter

I'd be fine with that.

I don't consider all of the products...'better'.

They just have more farkles that may, or may not, improve functionality. Most of the time they work on getting the bugs out while they dream up the next 'better' product. I do fine with several generations earlier.

That's just me

That why I didnt go for the latest thing. I typically get something that is about middle of the road. This thing was a little newer than what I had in mind but this is what they had at Costco.

I should be able to keep this longer before it needs an upgrade.

Here's a "new" game. It's called Crossy road. I hear it's all the rage. Made by a company called "Hipster whale"
