[Leica] IMG: Slow Process

[Jim Nichols]

Hi, Jayanand,

What I have is an iPhone 6, several years old, which I bought and 
learned  to use because it is my instrument of contact with three kids 
and seven grandkids, along with the great-grandkids.  When my family 
adopted a lifeline, I had to grab on.  I do not use social media.  But, 
when I'm out by myself, at 88, it's nice to know that I usually have a 
way of contacting family at all times.

YMMV
