Here is a real quick comparison (but it looks like that's all that was needed!) between two 4K camcorders that I bought this year: a DJK Osmo Pocket 3, vs. a...

This just came in from CEI. I remember that 1993 storm very well; South Euclid lost power for a week, and Corky & Lenny's at Cedar-Center had to transfer all their food to their Chagrin Store. That was a crazy time.

Gang, it's a Throwback Thursday all right....but lots of Cleveland is still without power, including WIXY1260Online! I'll be back next Thursday with the show originally planned for today!

Question for any Apple/iPad experts out there: I got a used iPad, and it won't let me log in. Apparently the previous owner never signed out of it, and I can't get his login info. Is there any way this can be re-set so I can log in as the user? It's a 3rd-gen iPad. Thanks!
