A Hi-Tech Christmas

This year turned out quite a Hi-tech affair.  I got an Amazon Echo (Alexa) and an i-Box Dawn (a bedside alarm, bluetooth player and mobile phone charger) and Mrs MD got a new iPad.
All very nice, but I've spent all day today getting them paired and subscribed to various programs I use.  I then had to learn how they operated - but it will be worth it in the end.
