Note 8 Renewal

Not a huge deal, but I reset my Note 8. Even though I had a full backup using SmartSwitch, after resetting and restoring, there was much I had to do. While doing all this, I was able to review all the apps I previously had on my phone before reinstalling them. I decided to not install a number of them. I also decided to leave some settings alone keeping my phone more simple for now even if not as "secure." On a phone like the Note 8 in the honeymoon phase where there's an overload of things and settings, the tendency is to install everything in sight, employ every security offering and so on. Resetting my phone has allowed me to take a more conservative route setting up my phone. Right now, I'm enjoying the phone more (from a practical daily use view) and I've renewed my interest and fascination with the Note 8.

Love the Avatar... boy, does that take me WAY BACK! I'm going to be 68 in April so that should tell you why... "Out of the night, when the full moon is bright, came a horseman know... damned, I even remember the song - yikes!"

You betcha'! By the way, if you're interested, there is a full set of the original TV series & movies online for purchase (I'm not affiliated with them in any way). I haven't looked at the site in a long time but Google it. Last time I was there, they were still for sale.
