So, while I’ve been watching triplets of tropical weather, I’ve been setting up my Computers and getting them back on line. Meanwhile Apple, Ubuntu, and M$ are sending out major updates.

I was lucky on the iPad. I didn’t realize there was a major update, IOS 10, coming out, so I was late to the party. That meant that I got IOS 10.00001 [OK – 10.0.1], the version that didn’t ‘brick’ many older devices.

I am currently upgrading my Linux box to version 16.04, the latest long-term support version.

Then I have to go back and check to see if Windows 10 finished its upgrade. It said it was updating, but then it stopped letting me check to see how far along it was.
