Thanks again -I'll have another look.afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-70903735431264410402017-02-03T17:51:03.601+00:002017-02-03T17:51:03.601+00:00Hi Gibson

It also worked well with my old Android Samsung S4 Mini. I don't know if it works with Apple phones, but after a quick Google I found a number of folding keyboards that all had good reviews that definitely do work with Android and Apple's stuff.<br /><br />All seem very reasonably priced.<br /><br />Good luck, Sir.<br />:-)Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-56442633071423782282017-02-03T17:14:10.980+00:002017-02-03T17:14:10.980+00:00Hi Alan.

It worked so much better than virtual keyboards on these glass phones. Hence the folding keyboard, Gibson.

And that means a decent keyboard and decent blogging software.<br />Of course, it also means broadband access every few days, which also didn't exist in 2007.
