Issues



I've started this new blog and then not posted for ages, not an auspicious start I must confess. Must try harder you may think, or flaky not worth bothering with, unfollow, another lonely nutter. I have been having a few technical issues lately which I am glad to say, I can stop ignoring and confess that I now know that I am not alone! It would appear that Apple have some sort of compatibility issues when connecting to people's home routers. Up until very recently I believed that it was only me and that clearly I was doing something technically incompetent to have this on/off internet connection. I went as far as changing my router in the mistaken belief that this dastardly box of much magic must be the cause of all my suffering with 'now you see me now you don't' internet. I installed it correctly and went around the house changing all network devices to this new magical box of tricks.

Of course the Sony computer and the two dells completely and impeccably behaved themselves with a faster and trouble free connection. All Apple gadgets on the other hand behaved like sulky children dragging their petulant feet and cranking into network life on an occasional whim. After searching the internet (using the Sony computer) I found forums discussing this and it would appear that I am not alone in this problem. Obviously Apple want to optimise the updates that they supply to the latest bits of kit but how about your loyal customers who own slightly older gadgets like iPhones that are not the 5 and iPads that are not the latest generation? Hmm? Come on Apple, pull your core out and fix this before we collectively throw our appliances against the walls and swap them for android ones instead.

I now know that I am not a total technophobe but I also know that I am pissed off!
