Thanks Artman! Binge watching you-tube videos. It's a thing. I probably watched 60 of them, mainly at 6-10 minutes a piece. I like the editing (basically taking out all the blank space), and the pics he puts in are pretty entertaining too. Seriously, those videos are probably half the length of some just by taking out the pauses, and maybe a quarter the length by taking out a lot of the useless commentary. But here I go, blabbing on about a non-AAPL topic (sadly he has a Samsung S9 and uses a windows laptop for editing....he seemed like such a knowledgable guy, but it's always tough for someone who so strongly identifies with being cheap even if he does like reliability and longevity). OTOH, on days this quiet, I just want to let '84 know people are still stopping by. We had a long bout of the cold here for a bit (I had it for 2.5 weeks), it's been dreary, and my wife has been visiting Ireland, so the kids spring break has been a bit boring. But we'll probably make it to Heavenly tomorrow, a rare place where the ski resort is both in NV and CA. We can ski from state to state. We just have to make sure we remember where we parked.

2 more things, if they slipped by. Costco is again having discounts on some Apple things including the MacBook Air. The 256GB version is $1199, so $200 off of Apple's prices. We bought one around xmas, also utilizing Costco's credit card which ups the warranty from Apple's 1 year, to Costco's 2 year, to the credit card's 4 year warranty. Costco's site says it's thru 4/19. Their email made it look like there would be discounts on the iPad too, but I didn't see a special discount online. Also, more details and a price was announced for Disney+. For $6.99/month it is to have all Pixar movies and many Disney ones. "We’re really happy to hear that every Pixar film will be available on Disney+ during the first year of its launch, including Pixar shorts!" Check the wording on that....either those Pixar films might not all be there from day one but make it within the first year, or they are leaving wording to be able to pull some after the first year. My guess is that they power load the first year or more, and then change things up once there is plenty of interest. At $6.99/month (a tiny bit less if buying a full year) I could see buying this at xmas time or sometime where the kids were going to have too much idle time. While we don't normally plop ours in front of the TV, there are times where it's fun to have a family movie night, and that's equivalent to just a few red-box movies, or even fewer paid ones from iTunes or Amazon. The Disney site has more info.
