Thanks for writing, Jj!

I wouldn’t think it’s ever at zero because, as you suggest, of the provided apps. I would guess the Audible app in in there, for example.

However, I think the OS (Operating System) is probably in that other 1.47GB I mentioned.

>> 1.17GB is the Application Storage.

Is this area EVER at zero? I don’t want to wipe my fire clean of apps to find out, but I strongly suspect that the OS and/or built in apps take up a huge chunk of this space.

Thanks for writing, Zebras!

“I thank you, my dog thanks you…”

I’ve gotten better at typing on the Fire, but it’s still pretty limiting.

We had the Commodore PET (Personal Electronic Transactor, I think). That came before the might Commodore 64.

Bufo that dog is so cute with the Mohawk! I was catching up with everything in the Pulse app, and sometimes in some of the things the pics don’t match up with the story, so I thought that is what happened with your blog. This is the first time I’ve tried to type at length on this dang thing, my Fire, and I would say it is taking me 45 minutes to type something that would have taken a minute. If I try to put a comma after your name to be more grammatically correct, it will autocorrect you to Buford everytime, so I gave up.

Speaking of limited storage, I remember working on the original PC model, and one floppy disc would hold one report.

Thanks for writing, Phyllis!

Great, thanks for letting me know!

I should point out, that’s not his haircut any more. However, I will proudly say that picture was with no hair product. His hair just stood up like that.
