I guess it would depend on if the new folio keyboard used the Smart Connector (does the redesign iPad Pro still have a Smart Connector?)

The Smart Connector not only supplied power to the old Smart Keyboard, but it also magnetically kept them together.

I'm actually looking forward to "date night" with the girl tonight, we're both off from work tomorrow and had to postpone our dinner plans last night. Thinking about taking her to the cheesecake factory (her Fab restaurant) then probably going back to my place to Netflix &chill :-D

49ers are on at 6:00 and the Oilers are on at 7:00 and I have to decide which to watch.
I listened to the last Niners game on Sirius and it was brutal. I have watched a couple of other games that weren't brutal, but still losses.
The Oilers are playing well.
Hmm...

Yes, it has one. It's no longer on the bottom (or side?), it's now on the back of the iPad. I read a hands-on review online, and the person said once the keyboard is snaps into place it takes a bit of force to remove it, so it's not like it can easily be knocked off. They didn't mention if it was sturdy or not. I imagine the keyboard folio was designed to hold the weight of the iPad (new model is about 1lb), but I do a lot of work sitting down without a solid surface, so I wanna make sure it's not going to fall off my lap or anything.

Here's the picture from Apple's website:


I'm gonna go ahead and start the trade-in process for my current iPad Pro model. Apple quoted me $375 in trade-in value. I'm supposed to get an e-gift card once the item is sent in and checked out.

i'd totally trade temperatures with you, if i could, lol.

i can't stand muggy weather. and it's even worse when it's warm. i'm much more comfortable when it's between 40 and 60 degrees.

I hear you. I hate hot/muggy weather. I thrive in cold, dark, overcast kind of weather. 78 here today, which is fine for spring but in my book is way too warm for November 1. Weather here in the California Central Valley sucks.

You're not the only one. In the New York metro area it feels more like late June than November. Today's forecast is 71 and rain. I left my apartment this morning in a T-shirt Some people might say "what's wrong with that?!" - EVERYTHING is wrong with it. Imagine going to Miami and it's 35 degrees F. It's just not natural.

A guy I've worked with for the past 17 years just totally hates sci-fi. I've tried to get him into it, but he just brushes me off.

His 5-year-old son loves Transformers Rescue Bots, and dressed as Optimus Prime for Halloween this year.

i guess most people just have that one genre of which they're not a fan. for me, it's horror. i've seen movies like nightmare on elm street, halloween (originals), and even the friday the 13th series (some of them, anyway). but other horror movies i can't get into.

That’s probably because most "horror" movies these days suck. Modern directors think all you need for a good horror film is gore, so they’ll throw a ton of gore at you but forget to tell a good story. Gore doesn’t equal scary, but most of these horror directors don’t understand that.

the last "horror" movie i watched that actually gave me a decent fright was the ring.
