G Power, on the other hand, has 64 (or 128) GB ROM plus a slot for auxiliary (microSD) storage. I know this sounds like a bunch of computerese jargon. All I'm saying is that, in my opinion, there are a lot of factors to consider when buying a phone, but storage Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196706639374144358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-91544855397083392052021-01-03T17:17:00.141-08:002021-01-03T17:17:00.141-08:00Thanks, John, but actually it's jazz.

Fortunately, my husband (who recently purchased a newer MAC this year) showed me that I could access my favorite jazz stream (WRTI.org out of Temple University) through the WIFI and into the AppleTV in our livingroom.
