Nuts!

A message of complaint will soon be sent.

I might have known. It will probably be confined to 'Truth Social', so

I wish NASA had put that link on it website in the ISS FAQ section.

I received emails telling me if was going to happen.

As it happens, I rather like the app. It tells you much more.

1. I didn't receive any messages!

2. I don't do 'apps'. I have a tablet that does Android, but I only
turn it on on rare occasions. My mobile 'phone is a 'phone.

I know someone who 'doesn't do internet'. It just means they miss out on
a lot of things.

I can be a Luddite too, however my phone is a smartphone and it's a very
useful tool It even makes old fashioned telephone calls.
