me: 100% iphone 8+
I go and use the public library’s pc & printer only if necessary: to print tax returns etc.

The above answer will help me understand the weakness(es) of the images I post.

    iPhone. When I have emails to write or large responses to post, I switch to my laptop.

    Desktop ... rarely use any of my mobile or portable devices to respond to PM's, and almost never to post here.

    Of course, for me, that is generally true of most internet functions, it is mostly desktop, or laptop when traveling or out in the field and need to pull up references. I manage work emails and texts from the phone when I'm not in the office and don't feel like popping on the laptop.

    I have used a laptop and a desktop for 99.99% of the posts I have here. I have used a cell phone for around two or three posts out of the 30,000 + thousand I have put up. I remember one day I was sitting in a bank lobby waiting for my in-laws to do some business, and I gave the phone a try. It worked, and I posted a message.

    I assume you mean you don't have broadband internet access there. Wifi would be something you set up for your local network at home.

    Most people relate to wifi easier than Broadband Internet Access. I was in Cable Television for 20 years. Wifi or just plain ole internet is more commonly used by most. So if this makes you feel better, I don't have Broadband Internet Access which means I am unable to have WiFi. Lol
