I asked my husband could he load and use Aps on his computer. He said "why." They were for bringing the smaller devices up to speed. They also lead you into new paths. They also cost money.

There are such an overwhelming number of apps, literally, thousands upon thousands, that going into the app store is, for me, an anxiety-producing exercise in futility. I'll spend an hour hunting around and not find anything that's applicable to my lifestyle. Loads of ways to waste one's time but not much that practical. It's a slippery slope, my dear.
