Another advantage, if you have to use multiple devices, is uniformity: put Nova on all devices and they all look/act the same. -- Pete Cresswell |

It would help plenty who live alone who have a bad fall and can't get up. There are a few of those on the reality TV series and some found dead who didn't manage to get any help too. And it happened to a mate of mine too who was so obscenely obese that he managed to fall down behind the bed and it took a crew of at least 6 emergency personnel to get him up again. In his case his wife could call them, but if he had been living alone, it would have avoided him ending up dead. |

I haven't checked it myself. I do run 10.0.2 but haven't setup the medical id because I don't have any medical conditions for which it would be useful and because if I am ever found unconscious or completely out of it so badly that I can't identify myself, it will be completely trivial to work out who I am. > In short though, Medical ID is exactly what I'd expect from Apple > users who merely want to *feel* safe, without actually *being* safe. Even sillier than you usually manage/even more of a pathetic excuse for a troll than you usually manage. |

There are multiple 'home' screens available and these theoretically useful apps can just be placed on, lets say, the last one. As one thinks of new possibilities they can be placed there and if they later seem to be of less use they can be removed. I can't actually think of too many apps that would be useful only in an emergency and only in an emergency since they come in an infinite number of forms. Personally I keep a 'daily' screen, a 'news and information' screen, a 'travel' screen, and an 'entertainment' screen. Guess I could move some stuff around and have 'emergency' one at the end. Just me, I guess... |
| Tim Schwartz <tim@bristolnj.com>: Oct 01 07:32AM -0400 Have a look at Evil-Bay. There are many "MS Notebook Mouse 3000" listed, though most seem to be wireless. With some patience, the one you want will likely show up in a few months. Regards, Tim On 9/29/2016 7:01 PM, aioli wrote: |

I can make it say anything. Like "Get your hands off > of me." or "Micky and I are friends" or naughties. So you may as well get inside and maybe the optical encoderdisc is partly out of a bearing, pot is worn, something loose, fluff etc |
