I sent off for another Amazon Fire. It’s my 5th and it will replace my T-Mobile tablet. I’ve got to admit, the tablet has been good. It has done most of what I wanted. However, I have drop-checked one too many times and the face keeps coming off of it. It is a bit frustrating having to keep putting it back.

However, not only was it only 7 inches, I am divorcing myself from T-Mobile. The tablet costs me $50 a month and I don’t need that. The Fire will do all that the tablet did but a lot cheaper without the phone line. Also, I will have to be close to a network to send or receive anything with the Fire.

The fire is 10 inches and the battery will last longer. There is one thing that I must fuss at. Moving files back and forth between my computer is not so easy, as it was with my new phone. Don’t know why they make that kind of improvement, but I am managing. Most important, after initial setup, I won’t be transferring much between my fire and computer. Most all will be going directly through the network.

Something did happen that did confuse me some. Maybe I need to converse with someone that understands how these new things work. I played a song on my Fire and it came out the speakers on my computer. I’m not sure I can change that. I hope I will be able to play things on the Fire without the the computer. The small hitch is that I haven’t a clue about how good the sound system is on the Fire.

I have a Rukku TV, almost new. I’m not totally sure, but I am beginning to think I can cast the image and sound from the Fire onto the TV. I don’t have a clue why I’d want to do that, but I guess, if I can, I might keep that in mind.

Something tells me, this new Fire will be full of all kinds of surprises.

As an aside, does anyone know anything about Hugh’s internet. T-Mobile is getting too expensive. Already I have decided to terminate my phone service with them. I also have internet with with them. I just might be stuck with them for a while anyway. It’s either that or do my internet work at the library, which I may do if T-Mobile keeps causing me grief.

By the way, does anyone know why it is that they won’t let us just copy stuff to and from the phones as they used to. It really worked good until I got this computer.
